BOOK BLURB
When a lightning bolt delivers a magical wallop, young Jesse finds himself wrestling with newfound magic on a bronco ride through adventure. Fantasy becomes normal as mini tornadoes appear out of nowhere to scatter the laundry, and the chicken coop freezes in mid-summer. His pa moves them to a Colorado mining town for a fresh start, but there’s a storm brewing in Silver Valley. An unusual string of mining accidents has locals whispering of magic, wizards, and dragons.

Then Jesse meets Boone, a newcomer not much older than himself who travels in company with an Indian marshal. Only Jesse can see the shadow of a dragon hovering around Boone, revealing his true form. Soon, Jesse is drawn into Boone’s world of adventure and fantasy.

Boone is a dragon mage, or wizard, sent to Silver Valley to investigate the mining accidents he believes are caused by a skinwalker searching for an ancient pot shard hidden somewhere in Silver Valley. But a skinwalker is a master of disguise, and Boone’s list of suspects is growing.
After his mentor comes up missing in a mining accident, Boone turns to Jesse for help. Together, they must interpret an ancient map, defeat a basilisk, and control Jesse’s wild magic before the skinwalker finds the pot shard and brings back a reign of terror to the West.

An intriguing read for young adults, this fantasy adventure will keep you turning pages long past bedtime. Get a taste by clicking on the Look Inside feature above.

hey all happy thursday

Hey all welcome to Thursday. Can you believe this I never cracked open my kindle yesterday at all I think I was still recouping from finishing the last book I blogged about. But, I am back and ready to blog about a totally different book today. THE ICE CAP AND THE RIFT  by Marshall Chamberlain

BOOK BLURB
A COMBOQUAKE RAKES THE MID-ATLANTIC RIDGE. A FIFTEEN MILE RIFT RIPS ACROSS AN ICELANDIC ICE CAP. A DISSECTED CAVE HOLDS MYSTERIOUS ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY. John Henry Morgan, ex-Marine, Director of the United Nation’s Institute for the Study of Unusual Phenomena, returns from the devastating attack on ISUP’s Mountain project in Belize only to be cast into the aftermath of the Comboquake and the dangers of the rift. Morgan and key ISUP staff mount an expedition to the rift and discover a cavern occupied one hundred and eighty thousand years ago, containing a perfectly preserved high-tech habitat and a traveling machine operated by unknown scientific principles. The benign scientific expedition to study the cave and its contents encounters deceit and violence as nations and terrorist groups ferret out the existence and significance of the discoveries, and mount sophisticated operations to acquire technological treasures for their own purposes. ISUP finds itself at the convergence of clandestine assault from several fronts. Violence escalates. Lives become expendable -- a scenario that has plagued the human race through the chronicles of time. Frantic action: Prague, London, New York, Washington, D.C., Libya, France, Spain, China, Iceland. Across oceans and air lanes, factions grapple for power. Survival for the ISUP scientists and preservation of new technologies for the benefit of humanity lie in choices of whom to trust.

MY REVIEW
  There has been a combo quake has happened leaving a rift about 15 miles long. Exposing a cavern full of of ancient technology. The ISUP  sends John Henry Morgan to head up the expedition . But there are forces at work that want the technology for themselves and as the violence escalates , lives become expendable. You will travel from Prague to Iceland. Crossing the ocean to New York and Washington . Survival is critical for the ISUP and trying to keep the technologies preserved for the benefit of all humanity. Will all come down to who they can trust and if they can stay alive .
  Mr Chamberlain takes us on a wild ride. With great twists and turns. You don't really know who can trust and who you can't. There are characters that you think you can trust , the characters that are just evil and they all want to dominate. You want to scream at the kindle when you think you have it figured out , Mr. Chamberlain takes you into a totally different direction. You also get to travel from Prague to Washington D.C and everywhere in between .
  John Henry Morgan is a tough ex military man that is the head investigator in the book . He is a hard man and shows it all through the book.
  The flow of this book was great every page was full of intrigue and mystery. A twist on every page . I was page turning well into the night on this one. It may seem like a long book , it is a very fast paced book. This is the second book in the series but you can read it as a stand alone . 
  So if you want a good thriller with lots of intrigue , with a twist of science fiction thrown in . Check out this book . You will like it .
A GREAT BOOK FOR THE DAD IN YOUR LIFE WHO LOVES TO READ

ok take two on the blog post

Hey all good day. hope your hump day is going better then mine is so far. I am rewriting the blog, I lost it somehow. So here we go again. I have been waiting for this book for a long and yes I admit I have stalked Pepper's face book page, waiting for the day that she said she was done. Trust me it was torture for me. I even did the preorder to guarantee I wouldn't miss the release day. So I got it yesterday and spent the whole day reading . Yes the whole dam day. House work suffered, chores got done fast and then with a big bowl of popcorn, a box of tissues and iced tea . I read and read and read.
So here it is TWISTED TOGETHER by Pepper Winters

BOOK BLURB

"After battling through hell, I brought my esclave back from the brink of ruin. I sacrificed everything--my heart, my mind, my very desires to bring her back to life. And for a while, I thought it broke me, that I'd never be the same. But slowly the beast is growing bolder, and it's finally time to show Tess how beautiful the dark can be."


Q gave everything to bring Tess back. In return, he expects nothing less. Tess may have leashed and tamed him, but he's still a monster inside.



**

After surviving the darkness, a new dawn has begun. Twisted Together wades through black to grey, chasing the light of true love to banish the shadows forever.

Pain is a requirement, connection a necessity. But ultimately Q and Tess must face their demons, before they can embrace their future.
 

MY REVIEW
 Oh my god what can I say, there are not enough stars in the world to give this book. What can you say about a book that will blow your mind with every page that you turn. Pepper will set your heart on fire and crush you all at the same time. You will cheer with every demon they slay and cry with pain when they are fighting these demons. There is also lots of hot sex. Pepper is a great writer of sex and the darker the better.
  The story continues where Q left off. Tess and Q are engaged but there are still demons in both of their lives that need to be conquered. Tess is still having nightmares of what happened to her in Rio. She realizes that she doesn't need the pain anymore to have sex  with Q but will let him continue to hurt her for his pleasure.  He knows she is lying but he doesn't know how to help her. His monster is growing and wants to come out to play more. They go to the island to get married but they don't . Q does the unspeakable and is going to bring back his fighting enslave. The woman that she was. As she comes out the other side. Q is drawn deeper into his darkness, and is trying to keep it together. Then the unspeakable happens and now it is Tess's turn to be the strong one and fight for Q and fight the demons of his past. 
   Pepper takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotion. There are so many twists and turns that will keep you turning pages well into the night. I started this book yesterday at 6 and finished yesterday. I couldn't put it down. The characters are so complex and layered. Tess and Q both grow up a lot in this final book. In Tears of Tess you see Tess as a young girl, scared and lonely. Even broken you see the young girl. In Twisted Tess has grown up and matured into a beautiful ass kicking heroine. Q may still have his demons and is still easy to anger when others ogle Tess . But we also see him maturing into the man and the monster that Tess needs and wants. Even Franco isn't beyond the glare of Q when he looks at Tess. Franco in my opinion is the comic relief in the story, Cause I think he just does stuff to rile Q up. Tess and Franco have a unique bond as well . He was the first to meet her and now he is her friend and guard.  Suzette is as sweet as apple pie, but don't ever cross her. She can lay a licking on Q and put him in his place more then once. She loves both Q and Tess .
I really want Suzette and Franco to have their own book and love affair. They would be so good together. HINT HINT PEPPER  if you are reading this .
  
   I am in love with this book and I am also kind a sad that this is the last book in the series. I feel like I have watched them all grow up. I have laughed and cried right along side them. Trust me I uglied cried so many times through out the series. I really unglued cried in Twisted Together. There is so much happening. The last 40 per cent of the book had me crying and  laughing, but mostly crying . the scenes are so intense . You just want to scream at your kindle, you won't believe what happens and trust me you will be turning the pages well into the night.
  So as I end this blog I want to say I am so happy that I took a chance of TEARS OF TESS  when it was free. It was one of the best decisions I could of made. That book took me to a place where I thought I didn't want to go but glad I did. I was hooked and so wanted to see what would happen . Would they finally get their happily ever after . So I want to say THANK YOU PEPPER , you introduced me to characters that I will never forget. They made me cry and scream and laugh.
  So if you want to read a series that is dark, very dark but also is a love story of two lost souls that are bound together. Please check out this series
 TEARS OF TESS  book one
QUINTESSIALLY Q  book two
TWISTED TOGETHER  book three

BOOK BLURB
When Sofia Bellrosi wakes up in the hospital following a car accident which kills both her parents, she has amnesia, a string of unexplained nightmares, and a husband she doesn’t remember; she wants answers but what she finds are more questions.

Adrift in a marriage she can’t remember, Sofia struggles to understand where her nightmares come from or why they are mingled with sensual dreams about her husband. Sure, she knows their story, but it’s a story told by Marcus and his memories are not hers. Some pieces from his story seem to be missing and Sofia believes that somehow he, her nightmares, and the missing pieces, are all connected.

Not sure what she is looking for, but desperate to keep her sanity, she starts digging; she finds more than she bargains for – starting with her inheritance – when life as she knows it splinters into millions of pieces right before her eyes, revealing a past she never knew existed. The inheritance is just a scratch on the surface of her family saga, and soon she must choose between a life she began to accept and a life she is destined for.
 
 
MY REVIEW

    Hey all let me introduce you to Sofia Bellrose. After waking up in the hospital , after being in a car accident which her parents were killed. She ends up with amnesia and  horrible nightmares. To top it off she has a husband that she doesn't even remember marrying. Between the nightmares and the sex dreams of the husband she doesn't remember . Trying to figure out all the pieces together. And finding an inheritance that was kept from her all the pieces seem to start coming together. Now will she take on her new life or stay in the past
 This novella is a very quick read but what it lacks in pages ,packs a punch in story, The four main characters are so well written and complex. They jump off the page at you. The story line is well written .
  Ica  creates a story that is dark but also is a love story. The trip you will go on is filled with a few twists and turns. You think you have it figured out and then bam it goes in a totally different way, It is also a twist on the wolf story line that you will like . Who knew. So if you like chick lit novels with a twist , Check out this book . Good read for the pool
