HAPPY NOVEMBER ALL

   Good morning my peeps , I hope you are having a wonderful November so far. Christmas prep will beg getting into full swing here. Today I have for you book 44 in the Haven Hollow series . ADEPTS AND ALCHEMISTS  by Hp Mallory. 

                            BOOK BLURB

 When death is just the beginning, and coming back means risking everything...

I thought dying was the worst thing that could happen to me. I was wrong.

Trapped as a ghost in gypsy Lydia Morton's body, I've spent months watching life from the backseat—unable to speak, unable to act, unable to warn anyone about the danger closing in. But when a soul-sucking vampire attacked, everything changed. Suddenly, I found myself back in control of Lydia's body... but Lydia's soul is gone.

Now I face an impossible choice: accept my second chance at life in a borrowed body, or risk everything to bring Lydia back from the nightmare she's trapped in. With the terrorist organization I once worked for hunting me down, and a spell that tore me apart atom by atom still haunting my nightmares, I know I'm living on borrowed time.

But I won't face this alone.

A reluctant coven of misfit witches. An incubus desperate to save his mate. A blood warlock with forbidden magic. And a kindhearted mundane who sees past the monster everyone else fears. Together, we'll attempt the impossible: a ritual to rebirth a soul and restore a body—before time runs out.

In Haven Hollow, death isn't always the end. Sometimes it's just the beginning.

                          MY REVIEW 

 Welcome back to the Hollow, after Lydia's soul is accidently taken . Indigo now has the reign over Lydia's body. She has a big decision to make keep Lydia's body or take on the task to get Lydia back from the vampire and cult that have been hunting for Indigo for years. But she isn't going to do this alone. With the help of Angelo, the incubus who is Lydia's mate , a coven of witches that are so mismatched in very way. A sweet mundane who is the sweetest guy that can see past the monsters . They will try and find Lydia before time runs out. 

   The gang is back and oh so good .Angelo is beside himself with worry , who for an incubus is a big big deal. Indigo she is well she is fighting hard to keep herself safe and finding Lydia. Wanda is as snarky as ever but when push comes to shove she will more heaven and earth for those who she cares about . Poppy and Finn are back and fighting for everyone to keep everyone safe. Each character gets better with each book . We see them as more a family now then just a bunch of magical beings living in one spot . These characters have really become like old friends and I love how they grow with each and every book. 

  This is one of those books that will have you laughing all the way through. They are so much fun to read . The author has built such a great land for these characters to thrive on and grow with each new book. I read this author when I want a fun sexy little read for an evening .This isn't a stand alone if you want to know more about them I would start at the start of The Occult oddities chapter of the series and read them and get to learn more about Lydia and the gang.There are so complex and parts of the series and different areas of town. So if you want a series that will have you thinking of a total town and their day to day lives check them out . 

GOOD DAY ALL AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN

   Good afternoon peeps , sorry about not being around been busy and also needed a break after reader round up. But i am back and I have for you book 5 in the Daughter of the Moon series . THE WHEE OF FORTUNE  by Hp Mallory. 

                           BOOK BLURB

 They say making a deal with a shadow witch is a bad idea. Turns out, they were right.

I thought rescuing Valerian would be straightforward—find the artifact the Raven Witch wants, trade it for the vampire who risked everything to save me, and get the hell out of the shadow realm. Simple, right?

Wrong.

Because now I've bargained away a piece of my soul, accidentally pulled my naked mother and her equally naked warrior boyfriend into a hell dimension, and discovered that the "simple artifact" I'm after could literally destroy both the mortal and shadow worlds.

Oh, and did I mention the Raven Witch is Valerian's psychotic ex who's been torturing him for weeks? Or that her equally powerful sister—the Eternal Queen—has been imprisoned in her own fortress, waiting for someone stupid enough (me) to free her?

Luke—my patient, devastatingly gorgeous guide through this supernatural nightmare—keeps warning me that Valerian can't be trusted. But here's the thing: Luke won't tell me his own secrets, won't let me past the walls he's built around himself, even as every heated glance and almost-kiss makes it clear there's something explosive between us. And now he's risking everything to help me save the one man he desperately wants me to abandon.

With my heart pulled between two impossibly complicated men, the fate of both realms resting on my ability to trust myself, and time running out, I'm learning that the hardest part of being a Daughter of the Moon isn't the magic or the monsters.

It's knowing which future to choose when the Wheel of Fortune shows you multiple paths—and only one leads to salvation.

One thing's for sure: nothing will ever be the same.

                            MY REVIEW

 Welcome back to the daughters of the moon. Kate finds herself in a different universe Obsidian where she is trying to find Valerian who was taken by his crazy ex girlfriend . When she bargains part of her soul away and then pulls her naked mother and her trusted guardian through to the other side. Along with Luke the magician who is her guide and is hopelessly in love with her . She and her band of ragamuffins have to go and find an object that could or could not end the mortal and shadow world. She must find the Eternal witch who is the sister of the crazy raven witch . Will Kate be able to save the worlds and get back to their universe in one piece. 

  Kate and the gang are back and honestly funnier than ever. Kate is still trying to come to terms with the powers she has but there are moments that she doubts herself and all that she can do. When push comes to shove and she stops doubting herself she can do so much more . Thank goodness she has good friends that have her back and will keep her safe. Luke is poor long suffering guide who has to teach and try and not fall in love with Kate.  With the rest of the crew they will try and figure out how to get Valerian and part of her soul back . We get to see the Raven witch in all her glory and her sister and save the world . When you get everyone together the laughs start up again . Each character is well written and you will love them from the very start. They get more and more complex with each story oh Rocco is back and funnier than ever. For a talking goat he makes the story so much fun to read. 

  This is one of those stories that you can pick up and start reading and laugh your way all the way through .  The author loves to write snarky, sassy characters that are flawed but you can see the good in them and fall for them.  I am so happy that she is back and writing good stories . If you want a fun series check out THE DAUGHTER OF THE MOON series . You will not be disappointed .

GOOD MORNING ALL TODAY I HAVE FOR YOU THE FINAL BOOK IN READER ROUND UP

   Good morning my peeps, today is the last book in the reader roundup for me . THE BLACK BOOK SERIES  by Theresa Sederholt. ( special edition)

                           BOOK BLURB

 Murder By Mistake: Book One

One bomb; the ripples of devastation—endless.

Tick . . . tick . . . tick . . .

Michelina

A week ago, I was a simple high school science teacher, and my biggest worry was making sure that my students got their final project in on time. Now, that is the furthest thing from my mind. Instead, I am in a race to save my life. In my possession is a key my grandfather left me. This key could change the lives of the five New York crime families that run the East Coast. I’m surrounded by the FBI and Mafia families. Good guys. Bad guys; the line blurs. One wrong decision could end so many lives, including my own.

Luca

I’ve lived my life on a dare—a life where I can do what I want when I want. Whoever gets in my way be damned. When I was assigned to protect her, she had no idea who I was—no one did. I didn’t expect to feel anything for her, except hate. Hate for what her family did to mine. Instead, I was beginning to fall in love with her. A forbidden love that could get us both killed or . . . it could land us at the top of La Cosa Nostra.

One wrong decision and it could blow up in our face . . . literally.

BOOK TWO Dangerous Pursuit: 

There are some secrets that seep out the sides of even the most confined places. Secrets that get people killed when they are supposed to be protected by them. Secrets that change the dynamics of life as we know it.

Michelina has been a victim of all these possibilities. The only thing she can do is continue to search for answers and try not to get herself killed in the process.

Family can be a wonderful blessing. It can also come at a cost. The more Michelina learns about her family, the larger it grows, and may just cost her everything.

Luca is doing everything he can to keep the woman he loves safe and the truth from spreading like wildfire. But when a bullet, meant for his brother, is closing in on its target, instincts kick in, and the truth explodes all around them.

There is one man at the helm of these wicked lies and deceit: Agosto. For years he thought he was doing the right thing. Maybe he was, or maybe he was unknowingly supplying the ammo to have his entire family taken out.

BOOK 3 Blood Vows: 

Self-destruction is ingrained into human nature. Each person carries the ability to cause their own extinction in all facets of life. Intervention rarely changes anything because one thing is clear…no matter how hard we try to set someone on a new path, their choices will always belong to them.

Save her best friend’s life again, or save the cousin she never knew she had. That is the dubious decision Michelina faces. She never imagined she’d turn out more like Carmine, the grandfather she hardly knew. He was ruthless, which was reflected in the hoard of enemies that followed him. The blood on her hands won’t wash away easily as Michelina gathers her strength to become the head of the Amato family.

The contention between family members begins to fester, as her stepbrother’s plans for Carmine’s legacy puts not only Michelina’s life in jeopardy, but also the life of her closest friend.

A house full of secrets will always be divided.

BOOK 4 Infinite Absolution: 

The reigns have been handed down to the younger generation, the generation whose ties are connected by deceptions in the past. There’s only one man left from the older generation who has been pulling those strings all along: Agosto. Agosto knew all the damage he left in his wake, but he didn’t care; he was in competition with a dead man.

He walked away thinking he would have infinite absolution once the love of his life became truly his under the eyes of God. Viviana’s love was strong enough to forgive him of his misgivings; he was sure of it. However, Agosto has never been able to understand the love for your child, the power behind such a love…

For some, there is no absolution.

                       MY REVIEW

 This four book series follows the lives of a family that Michelina didn't really know she had and what happens the day that things went wrong in her life but actually saved her life in the process,  She is taken to a world where you can't trust anyone not even the closest people that come into her life As the books go on we see how they thrive and start to take over the family business. As Agosto finds the love that was taken away from him . He keeps Vivian in his life and is ready to retire the family and give over the Michelina and Luca . Between saving her best friends life or save the life of the brother she never knew she had . As she saves her best friend things happen that hurt the family . But there is damage has been done and will her best friend survive what happened to her. 

   This is a series of books that the characters start out strong and keep getting stronger. Michelina has a back bone of steel and a sassiness that shines through out the books . In book one we see her as the sweet school teacher and by book 4 you see her as the head of the family and putting things right and keeping everyone safe . Luca has been torn between two worlds and when he saves Michelina he decides to keep her safe and you see by book 4 how he fits in with his family more and more . We have so many characters through out the books . I think Agosto and Vivian are my favourite . Agosto the head of the family and getting older everyday. Vivian was his first love until she was taken away by his rival . After years of waiting we see how revenge can work but doesn't want to have Vivian or Michelina hurt in any way. You love how the characters evolve and grow more complex with each book. 

  This series of books shows the growth of the characters and how they evolve into the people they become at the end of the series . I truly love this author's writing style and how she draws you in with such interesting characters and back stories . I will admit there are cliff hangers at the end of each book but it is great cause the next book is right behind it. So if you like a mafia series  with stories that will have you engrossed the whole time and actually like the characters this the series for you . So if you want a good story this is the series for you. Add it to your fall reading list

GOOD AFTERNOON ITS DAY 7 OF READER ROUND UP

   Good afternoon my peeps , its been busy here today so I am a bit late with my review today. Today i have a collection of short stories for you .  NAUGHTY FAIRYTALE COLLECTION  by Sophia Poe 

                              BOOK BLURB 

 Welcome to the Naughty Fairytale Series. This collection of short stories was loosely inspired by classic fairy tales we all know and love–only these have a sexy spin.

This is a collection of thirteen short stories that explore themes that may not be suitable for everyone. Reader discretion is advised.

                       MY REVIEW 

 Welcome to the naughty side of reader round up.  This collection takes some of best loved fairy tales and shortens them up and gives them a dirty little twist. 

  This is such a fun collection of short stories . Each story is set in and around the 17 century . Where woman were seen and not heard and the men are manly men. We see the women finally beginning to get what they want from the men in their lives, who knew that they could have so much fun. All the stories are concise and well written, my favourite story is LORD de BHERE'S LADY  it is loosely based on Goldilocks and the three bears . When Isabelle's husband comes home with a proposition that can not be denied . When the desires of the night become carnal and new things and sensations are brought out and loved . Each story is crafted with such a a complexity you will love the short stories . 

    This is a fun collection that will have you blushing and reading well into the night . They are fun fast reads that you will enjoy. We all love our fairy tales but some of us like our fairy tales a little twisted

GOOD AFTERNOON ALL ITS DAY OK I LOST COUNT THINK DAY 5

    Good afternoon peeps today we are diving into book 6 of the Ardulum space opera series . ARDULUM MIRRORS OF ANDAL  by J.S Fields 

                           BOOK BLURB

 The planet Ardulum has died and taken with it every last andal tree, and piece of andal cellulose tech—dissolving the Alpha Plane down to lightspeed travel and archaic communication. Yet Ardulum’s consciousness still lives, unwelcome, inside Atalant’s body. But two consciousnesses cannot share one host—especially not when one is a former planet.

Amidst the remains of a shattered galaxy, Guard Four and the Keft scrapper Bell chance a return to the Neek homeworld, where andal is still rumored to grow. A stable forest of andal could power the Cell-Tal technology to save Eld Atalant's life. Instead, Guard Four and Bell find a populace grappling with the aftershocks of Ardulum's death, and find Ardulum’s genetic influence is wider than they thought.

What remains of Ardulum demands a new body of its own, and transport to a mysterious world of Thesby, where a stable bridgeway to another dimension is rumored to exist. Emn, desperate to save Atalant, promises to aid Ardulum in return for healing her wife's battered body. If Emn can avoid Chartered Systems assassins long enough to get to Thesby, she stands to not only be reunited with Atalant, but to rid the galaxy of Ardulum, forever. If she fails, the Charted Systems will remain in the dark ages of space travel, and Eld Atalant of Ardulum, and her vision for the Neek people, will die.

                     MY REVIEW 

 Ardulum has died taking the last andal tree with it along with the tech that it supplied. Ardulum still lives but lives inside Atalant and is kind of driving her crazy.  What remains wants a body of it own. Emn is desperate to save Atlant and will do almost anything to save her. If Emn can avoid the Chartered systems assassins jut long enough to Thesby there is a chance that they can be reunited . 

  This is the 6th book in the series . The characters just keep becoming more and more complex. There is such a special relationship between Emn and Atalant. You see such a sweetness and a tenderness between them . We also get to see some ooey gooey sweet emotions from Bell and Guard four . We don't know what it really is but they are so cute together. You  can't help but caring for these characters . They are fun to read and fall for . 

 This book didn't take me as long to read as book 5 .  It read faster and the characters jump out at you.  This author is thorough with the story line and the character . No character feels less than the man characters. This is a series that has your head in outer space and your heart wit the character. I suggest you add this series to your fall reading list .

WELCOME TO DAY 5 OF READER ROUND UP

    Good afternoon my peeps ,it is day 5 and today I have a novel by a new author for me. SON OF ASMODEUS by Barb George. 

                          BOOK BLURB

 Birthright. Protector. Heaven. Hell.

A lone demon hunter, his true birthright unknown, roams the streets of Los Angeles while killing demons to prevent atrocities against the world. As the son of Asmodeus, Sully is a hunter feared by both demons and angels. His world was not the same once he walked into a bar and offered to help Mick, a gothic bartender.

Mick worried about her missing friend until the day she met Sully. The minute he walked into her bar and offered his help, her world changed. Secrets of her destiny unlocked, and he was at her side everywhere she turned. Friend. Protector.

Can they live with the secrets that are revealed to them? Will they survive the chase for the truth between Heaven and Hell?

                     MY REVIEW 

     Sully who is a demon hunter, he has been wandering Los Angeles  killing demons . Until the day he walks into a bar and offers to help Mick. She is worried about her missing friend and when Sully walks into the bar their world changes. Secrets are found out and destinies are unlocked for Mick. Sully is by her side the whole time. But the question is can they survive the secrets that are revealed and will they survive the chase and the fight between Heaven and Hell. 

  This book starts out with a fight between heaven and hell, with Arch Angel Micheal leading the charge. The pact was formed and Asmodeus and Jophiel are picked and agreed to this pact. A child was born and the passage is safe . Now we get to see Sully and those that are helping or hindering what the pact has kept secret all those years.  Each character is well written and very complex . There are multiply points of view in this story and characters that we can and can't trust. These characters are going to take you to the edge of your seat through out this story. 

  This author is a new author to me and I really love the way she lays out a story and characters.  This is a story that will have you sucked in by the end of the first chapter . I truly loved this story and read it in an evening . I want to check out book from this author. Her story building is amazing and you will get sucked in fast.  If you like books about good versus evil heaven versus hell. Check out this book if you want a good story with really good characters . Add it to your fall reading list.

GOOD AFTERNOON IT IS DAY 4 OF READER ROUND UP

   Good afternoon my peeps , it is day four and today I have for you book 4 of the GrimFairie  Chronicles GRIM REMINDERS by Wher Mclendon. 

                               BOOK BLURB

  They may fight on the side of the Light, but GrimFaeries do their best work in the dark.

Silent, unseen, and deadly, they walk among us, protecting the innocent from things that go bump in the night. As a battle-hardened Fae assassin, Kane the Grim has seen his share of demons and monsters over the centuries, and he’s left a trail of bloody victories in his wake. Two humans join Kane in his otherwise lonely calling. Ariana, the last in a long family line of witches, is always ready to throw down whether it’s a magickal duel, a gunfight, or good old ass-kicking that’s required. Joining them is Detective Avery Lynne, a tough, smart cop who keeps a close eye on them both while she learns the ways of her own hidden magick—and Kane has his eyes on her, too.

When a body turns up completely drained of blood, nobody wants to believe in vampires, but Kane knows better. As the deaths pile up, Kane, Ariana, and Avery go on the hunt, but the undead aren’t the only things skulking around in the shadows. To make matters worse, an old flame of Kane’s turns up out of the blue, digging up feelings that might be better left buried. Can Kane and his friends survive demons, vampires, and the hell-born to make the streets of West Houston safe again or will the undead spread death and destruction at every turn?

                        MY REVIEW 

    As a battle worn Fae assassin Kane is battle weary and battle ready for what is to come next. He has two battle ready wing men or this case wing women . Avery a mortal with a touch of fairie in her to use magic on those they capture and Ariana the last of a long line of witches . They are a on the hunt when a body shows up drained of all their blood. As the bodies start to pile up the three of them are on the hunt and to make matters worse an old flame of Kane's  shows up just to throw some more flames to the fire. Will they be able keep streets of West Houston safe or will the undead take over city. 

     Kane and ladies are back and better than ever. Kane is a Fae assassin and has killed many a demons . He is dangerous but lovable man who will kill those that have done wrong. Avery is a mortal woman who is strong willed and wants help keep the streets clean of all things. She is attracted to Kane but they never act on it. Ariana is the last in the line of witches . She is strong with magic. Both women are strong willed and sassy. They get as they get and they and they are so fun to read.  They are such fun characters and they are very complex . 

   This is the fourth book in the series and it is such a fun read . The author has a fun sense when it comes to his writing. The characters are well written and you will love them. The story is faced pace and you can't put the book down . I read this book in the evening and truly enjoyed it . I really enjoyed it and want to go back and read the ones I missed. So if you want a fun read for your fall reading list.

  Good afternoon my peeps , yes we are on day 3 of reader round up and we have for you another book for J.S Fields ARDULUM: THE BATTLE OF PRUITCU book 5 in the Ardulum space opera series  by J.S Fields.

                            BOOK BLURB

 Fifteen years ago, Guard Four stood by and watched her friend, Atalant, be jettisoned into space for questioning their planet's religion.

Atalant should have died. Instead, she disappeared.

Consumed by guilt, Guard Four trawls space, hopping from spaceport to spaceport, hoping to find and bring Atalant home with exonerating evidence that Ardulum, the traveling planet her people worship, is no mystic deity. 

At the edges of the known galaxy, Guard Four finds the shattered remains of a murdered world - a world of her genetic cousins who could have provided the evidence she desperately seeks. Ardulum, it seems, is no fairy tale but rather a bogeyman, set on destroying anyone who gets between it and its biological imperative to reproduce. And in its seat of governance rules Atalant - god to a planet she swore did not, could not, exist.

Guard Four must unravel Ardulan fact from myth to save her friend and the billions of other beings threatened by the Void - a tear in space created from Ardulum's most recent birthing event. But how does one bring a god of a killer planet home? And how is Guard Four supposed to stop the Void without giving it the only thing it wants - the destruction of Ardulum?

                         MY REVIEW

 It has been fifteen years since Atalant was jettisoned from their space craft after questioning their planet's religion. But she didn't die she just disappeared . Now Guard Four has been hopping from docking bay to docking bay trying to find Atalant and the traveling planet of Ardulum to show that the traveling planet is not a mystic diety that here people thought it was. 

They must unravel Ardulan fact from the myth to save her friend and billions of others that are being threatened by the Void. How does a person suppose to stop the void with out giving it what it wants Ardulum and its destruction. 

There are actually two stories going on at the same time through this book . We have Guard Four and her hunt for Atalant and Ardulum. She is on a mission to find out what happened. She is fighting for what is right and wants to get to the bottom of the missing Ardulum and what happened to her friend. When Atalant comes back as an elder . A little older and a little bit more smart . They want to clear Atalant 's name and show them that Ardulum is real . Salice and Nicolas are trying to find survivors . They both are wanting to find family that is like them and they want to keep everyone safe and together. Each of these characters are well written and complex. They are very intense when it comes to each others and those who they love keeping them safe. 

   This is one of those books that you will sit down and read and it will suck you in . The author does such a great job keeping the story lines separate but also combined at the same time. The plot is complex and you find out something new every second chapter . These are characters that you will love , laugh with and cry. This book does have a big twist in the end and you do kinda gasp but it will keep you reading all night . A great read for those nights where you are up late and need a good space opera to keep you entertained .

                             BOOK BLURB

 Welcome to the Industrial Revolution.

Magic has been banished back to the edges of the continent, and Sorin the Master Chemist has one remaining task: restore the guilds of Gasta Fletcha to save the continent's economy, and its soul.

Except the continent has never been more prosperous. Queen Magda is ready to leave the guilds behind and embrace the incoming factories. Sorin’s task of releasing trapped skills from magic amulets is no longer a priority of the crown. Sorin would rather die than give up on the guilds, but Sorin is not the queen and does not get to make these decisions. To make matters worse, the magic of Gasta Fletcha will not be so easily ignored.

Sorin would like nothing more than to sort both their personal and professional differences with Magda, but, spurred by a disembodied magic voice from an amulet, they set out on a quest across the continent, hoping to discover a new purpose. What they find instead is a trail of destruction in the wake of a rapidly growing industry: factories with horrible working conditions, children maimed in the pursuit of economic growth, and the devastating loss of guild tradition. It will take a blend of magic, chemistry, tradition, and progress to save the guilds and Gasta Fletcha, and Sorin must decide what is truly in the people's best interest—cultural history or economic prosperity. One choice will cost Sorin their queen. The other will cost them their heritage.

                      MY REVIEW 

 Sorin is master chemist working on helping the guilds after magic was banished to edges of the world. When Queen Magda wants to end the guild and bring everything up to date. Sorin is tasked to releasing the magic that is caught in the amulets to try and help the guilds . Magda wants to bring in the industrial revolution to help the people . As they venture out on their missions they find a wake of destruction as they find themselves in the wake of the rapidly growing industry. They see the harm of what can be happening. They have to make a decision on if they can bring back the guilds or keep going with the industrial . One will loose Sorin their queen and the other will loose them their heritage. 

   Sorin and Magda are basically 2 sides of the same coin. Sorin is clinging to their old traditions and Magda wants to usher in a new age for their land . Sorin is shy and just wants to work on what they are meant to do. Work on figuring out how to keep magic and the guilds alive .  Magda is an outgoing woman who as queen wants to bring the land up to a new age. Sometimes they butt heads and Magda comes off as a little pushy toward Sorin. But they love and care deeply for each other Sorin is the focus of this book and we really get to see how they grow through their adventures . Magda doesn't have a starring role in this story she is more of a back character we don't really get to see her through out the story. There are various side characters that come into play and have such good relations with Sorin . These characters are so well written complex. You will start caring for each of them by chapter 2

     This is one of those books that will take you on a wild adventure. It is a multifaceted story with great characters. You see how the author ushers us into a new era in history and what happens when you are bringing new things into the world. This has some interesting characters. Sorin is non binary and Magda is part of the LBGT . This book is a really cool read for ones that are coming to terms with things in their life . It is a YA  book but adults can read and get lost in the world just as easy. You really don't have to read book one if you don't want to but if you want to get a more in depth back story it would be good to read. So if you want a sapphic read for your fall check it out 

GOOD AFTERNOON IT IS DAY ONE OF NOVELS

   Good afternoon my peeps. today we are starting on novels . I was lucky and I got to start novels a couple of days early. So our first book is a new author to me L.D Wosar and DULCE VEE, book one in the Awakening of a Vampire  Queen. 

                             BOOK BLURB

 Nearly two years ago, I was nearly dead when Kaysee Belluomo drained me completely of my blood. However, a peculiar angel with a tarnished halo and fangs, by the name of Jarod Fox, came to my rescue and saved my life, albeit by turning me into a vampire.

LET ME START BY SAYING, I DIDN’T ASK TO BE A VAMPIRE, BUT IT’S BEEN, LIKE, THE COOLEST THING EVER.

I was finally acclimated to being a blood-sucking vamp and now I was being considered to be queen of a failing vampire kingdom, after the Reina and Rey were slain. Wow! Is this real life? Lil’ old me? A vampire queen? It was an unrealistic fantasy, which may never come to fruition if Princesa Santana Alamilla, who wanted the crown more, had her way and, kill me.

Who woulda thought this little Rodeo Queen had the potential to be a Vampire Queen? Hell, I didn’t, but I was up for the challenge.

Would I finally meet a Prince Charming to replace the void in my heart every man left? Not sure about that either, but dreams are a wish your heart makes, right?

                      MY REVIEW 

  After being attacked by a crazy vampire on a bus Valainah was hanging on by a thread. When an angel that brought her back to life. That angel was a vampire name Jarod. Who with is mentor Rainer have been helping her for the last two years . Once she finally gets a hang of being a vampire things happen and she is thrust into the place she didn't want to go back to Seattle where she is in training for what we are not sure of yet . Some people want her dead and the others want her to become the queen. She really doesn't know who to trust but with Jarod and Rainer's help she might might make it to take over for the queen Alimilla who's family name has been tainted . Valainah is the twin for this queen and they hope they can get her in power.  Now she must lead an army to fight queen Alimilla . Will they be able to come out of this alive. 

  These characters are wild and so much fun to read . Valainah is a tough as nails young woman . She had the world at her feet she had her life mapped out until the day she met her boyfriend and they moved to Seattle.  She was a typical young woman with dreams and ambitions. Wise cracking and always pushing the boundaries with the people in power. Jarod is her friend and maker , a fun loving vampire who likes to crack a joke at the wrong time , almost like a father figure in her life. When someone hurts Vee he is the first one to get to her, He is her confidant and honestly her best friend. Rainer well he is kind of a geek lack of a better word . He is always there tsking and shaking his head at Vee . They may feel like they are being driven crazy by Vee , they are her fiercest protectors and family . We also get to know some of the other characters that round out the cast . There are a lot of characters that we meet through out the book . Like Emarosa who trains Vee and well kind of it seems a grudge against her . Each character is well written and you really start to like them and cheer for them.

  This is one of those books that can really surprise you . You think it is going to be a brooding dark vampire story. Turns out to be a laugh out loud story that you can get lost in. The main characters fight like they are family but they really do care for each other . You can't help but care for them and laugh at them. This is the first book I have read from this author and I really want to dive into book two in the series to see what happens to everyone. Yes this book leaves you on a cliff hanger but the good thing the second book is out all ready . This could be a fun read for you Halloween week reading list check it out.

                          BOOK BLURB

 The war was never over.

It was just waiting in the shadows… For her to come home.

Sloane Axton was forged in fire and betrayal.

Now President of the Southern Charter, when the club suffers an unfathomable tragedy, something inside her shatters.

She walks a razor-thin line between vengeance and justice—her moral compass fractured, her soul splintered by ghosts too dangerous to name.

Grief becomes gasoline.

And she’s seconds from lighting the match.

The South is done surviving in the wreckage of a tainted legacy.

They’re rebuilding something worth bleeding for—dragging the North out of the ashes of anarchy and into an era of outlaw code, chosen brotherhood, and redemption.

But even honor has a cost.

The Southern Accords are more than peace talks.

They’re a last-ditch attempt to protect the town of Rhapsody Falls from a looming storm—redirecting firepower away from turf wars and into a future worth fighting for.

But peace is a fragile pillar of hope…

And it’s the blood spilled around the table that threatens to bring it all crashing down.

Liam Gunn.

President of the North.

Her ride-or-die.

The one man who ruined her for anyone else.

A love like theirs doesn’t die—it carves itself into your bones and waits to rise from the ashes.

But love doesn’t come without sacrifice.

And if Sloane loses control, she’ll burn everything to the ground to protect those she loves.

In the world of the MC—where loyalty is life or death and justice wears a bloody crown—

                               MY REVIEW 

 Sloane and Liam are back and fighting for their lives and the lives of the members of their clubs. The South club is done living in the tattered shadow of the past and the North chapter is well just hanging on by a thread. War is coming and they all must come together to fight the evil that is coming their way . Sloane is done with what is happening and will do anything to keep the club going and every member safe even if that is taking on the revenge by herself and becoming a one woman wrecking crew. It will take Liam and the rest of the brotherhood to keep war from totally destroying both clubs. 

  Sloane and Liam and the rest of the crew are back and they are ready for war . Sloane is really having a hard time with what is happening, she feels responsible for the lives that were lost . We see her kind of go into herself and try and push everyone away as she takes on the man that started all of this and killed her father. Liam is kind of at a loss he wants to be right beside Sloane but she has a way of keeping him at arms length. They both are such strong characters but they also have their faults that keep them second guessing what it really means to be in love with someone and have their backs for always .  We also get to see more of the rest of the crew and their personalities and they are so much fun to read . 

   This is the second book in the series and starts off right where the first book leaves off . There is so much that happens in this book . We get to see both Liam and Sloane fight some inner demons and fight for what is right.  The author puts so much love and pain into her characters , you will love them . They are well written and complex. and the story is fast paced and lots of action and smexy times.  I do strongly suggest you read book one before diving into this book. Check it out if you love a good biked book with brooding bikes and kick butt ladies .
