GOOD DAY AND WELCOME TO DAY 6

 Good afternoon everyone I am on day 6 of reader round up . I will say that the books are great and love reading them . Today I have book five in the Division Zone series . HARBINGER  by Matthew S Cox. 


                           BOOK BLURB



   Lieutenant Kirsten Wren has encountered Harbingers before—shadowy entities that claim ghosts with dark souls—but they don’t usually follow her home.

At long last, life is somewhere approaching happy. Her adopted son has put his past behind him and she’s even finally trusted herself enough to start a romantic relationship. Best of all, no corporations or demonic creatures have tried to kill her in a whole month.

Dead gang members start turning up, victims of murders with ritualistic overtones. Division 1 files them away as low priority due to their policy of letting the street trash clean itself up. However, when additional killings occur with obvious supernatural causes, Kirsten officially takes jurisdiction.

In the midst of her investigation, a Harbinger attaches itself to her. The chilling ramifications of that become clear once she discovers the area’s most feared gang has developed a working relationship with the Abyss. If she doesn’t act fast, all of West City will become a hellscape.

                     MY REVIEW 
  This isn't the first time that Lieutenant Kristen Wren has encountered Harbingers but they usually don't follow her home . Things at home are going great her adopted son is finally adjusting to his new life . Now with dead gang members are ending up dying all over town and there are ritualistic in meaning . Kristen take overs the investigation and with the help of her ghost partner Dorian she is working hard to get the bad guys even if it means taking down one of the most feared gangs in the district . 
  There are so many characters in this books . Kristen is such a wonderful woman .. She is feisty and hardworking and also a psychic who can see the dead . She is in the best relationship and her son Evan is sweet and sometimes he comes off immature but not really being immature . He wants to be friends with everyone and loves taking care of those friends .There are so many characters that come and go through out the book and keep Kristen on her toes . All the characters are very well written and complex. 
 This is one of those books that combines science fiction with a dash of drama and mystery . The author has a great grasp of the genre and paints a very vivid landscape for these characters to live and work in . The characters are well written and complex and you will love them . I truly enjoyed this book and loved the characters and the story is complex . If you want a good read for an evening check it out . It is part of a series but you can read it as a stand alone. So check it out .

GOOD AFTERNOON ALL

  Good afternoon today is a non reader round up day , just going to let you know about a book I fell in love with . LAKE HOUSE PROMISES by Jodi Allen Brice . 


                           BOOK BLURB 



 Carolina Johnson had the life everyone wanted. A solid marriage of twenty years. A gorgeous house in the most desirable neighborhood. Friends at the country club. Yet, somehow, she always felt the other shoe would drop.

And drop it did! When she discovered her husband’s affair with a girl half his age. Even more devastating, she’s pregnant.

Now divorced, she has to start over in a lake house with too many issues to list, a neighbor who doesn’t like her and zero friends. To make matters worse, her outrageously rude former mother-in-law shows up and expects to spend a few days.

At forty years of age, Carolina has to start her life over from scratch and draw on the last vestiges of strength she has to make a life for herself.

A new life, new problems, and new relationships…can Carolina find out what matters the most in life and discover what true love really looks like? Or will she refuse to let go of the past and the bitterness that threatens to steal her happiness?

                      MY REVIEW 
 Carolina had it all a marriage she thought was forever , friends a gorgeous house in one of the most influential neighborhoods. Until the fateful day her world fell apart and she found out that her husband was cheating and his girlfriend was pregnant . So after the divorce she heads out to the lake house to start her life over . When things go from bad to worse but with a stubborness and a strength she starts over and finds out there is more friends out there that want to help and be her friend for her not her way of life . She will make her life with the people who want her in her life . 

 This is one of those books where the characters are amazing . Carolina is a forty year old woman who is at first a little naive when it comes to her husband and her friends . Until the day that she has to become a woman who can stand on her own two feet and survive .  She really starts to stand on her own as time goes by . She has a stubborn streak that will not let her stop .Chris her ex husband well he is a leech and I really wanted to throttle him . He is a slimy two timer who deserves everything he gets . Thomas is the gruff handy man who is doing work for Carolina . He may come off as a grump but deep down inside he is hurting and struggling with his wife's passing , Carolina helps him and he just becomes a man you want to know and maybe love. These are just a few of the characters that are friends and neighbours to Carolina . They are all such fun characters to read and you will fall in love with them . 

   This is a book that you can sit down and kind of get lost in .  I am truly loving the books this author writes . They have some traumas in them but we get to see the struggles and come out the other end stronger . The author takes us on such an emotional rollercoaster ride . Trust me there were times in the book I was wishing Chris would get his in the end and what about his mother . Trust me when you read what she did to Carolina you will want to throttle her also . This is a sweet clean story with some Christian values . But your really don't feel it in the book but you can feel the happiness and the strife that the characters go through. So if you want a sweet story of over coming life's traumas check it out you will not be disappointed .

WELCOME TO DAY 4

 Welcome to day 4 of reader roundup, today I have for you ANDORRA SECTOR (book one of the X-CLAN Series ) by Lexi C Foss


                        BOOK BLURB



 Katriana Cardona 

My life ended the moment the X-Clan found me.
Bitten.
Turned
And claimed by him.

My genetic markers label me as a rare omega. But inside, I'm all female alpha. And I will not heel. Not even to the Alpha of Andorra Sector.

Ander Cain promises me protection.
A new world of pleasure and pain.
But he wants all of me in return.
Even if it means taking me by force.

I'll be damned if I give up my inner fight. I spent the last twenty years battling the walking dead. These wolves won't know what hit them when I'm through.

Ander Cain
My life began the moment I found her, my darling little mate. She's the force of nature Andorra Sector needs to give us hope for a future. A reason to keep going and to protect our lands from the zombie infestation beyond.

Yet she refuses to play by our rules.

Born in a time where humans will do anything to survive, she's not used to the pack hierarchy or the laws our kind abides by. Oh, but she'll learn. And I'll thoroughly enjoy being the one to train her.

Katriana Cardona can fight me all she wants, but in the end, she will be mine. Whether she submits or not.


                    MY REVIEW
 Kat has been in hiding for the first twenty years of her life , hiding with other humans fighting the zombies . There are other forces that they must fight also when on a raiding mission they raided the wrong caravan. She is captured and taken to Andorra Sector . Where she finds herself at the mercy of the Alpha and he wants her . She is turned without her knowledge and then is found out that she is a prized possession that everyone wants . Ander is the alpha and he wants her , he will let her fight and claw but she will submit to him one way or another .\

 Ok lets see what can I say about the main characters . Kat well she is a wild one, she is a survivor that can out wit most of the men . But there are moments that her stubbornness is going to get herself killed but she just doesn't give up . Ander well he is sometimes a complete jerk but he also does have a heart underneath all the muscles and arrogant manners .  He pushes Kat to her breaking point and really doesn't realize that he hurt her in so many ways . They both start to realize that they need each other and honestly you start to see them grow and become even stronger characters . 

 There is something I am going to say before I continue on . This book is not for the faint of heart . This book contains some dark subjects that could be triggers for some people. Now if you are up to the challenge this book will have you on the edge of your seat most of the time . The rest of your time will be fanning your face and blushing. The main characters are well written and complex but there are times that you really wanted to shake the hero and tell him that quit being such a jerk to the heroine . I will tell you there is a lot of sex that goes on in this book and there is an attempted rape scene that goes on . There is also the love hate relationship between and alpha and his omega . The one thing I will say I found that it drug on a bit in the middle but over all I really enjoyed this story and want to more from this author . Going to check out the next book in the series .

                           BOOK BLURB



  When Elemental Andrej Siminof reaches out to an old friend to uncover the meaning behind the colors he can now see, he gets far more than advice, he becomes an agent with the FPU hot on a confusing case that brings him back into the world of the Making Waves family he only recently encountered.
