HAPPY RELEASE DAY

  Good morning peeps today is release day for JD Brown's new book DARKNESS ABOVE. 

                           BOOK BLURB

 

Her parents are legends, but they’re losing the war. Now, it’s her turn.

Jordan Korento spent her life training for the vampire war, but no one will give her a chance to prove she’s more than just a princess.

When Jordan learns of a twin brother who was sent to live in hostile territory, she takes destiny into her own hands, determined to save the sibling she never met and make her family whole.

Joined by her vampire ex-girlfriend who she still has feelings for—and the mysterious Sergeant who steals her breath with a single glance—Jordan embarks on a rescue mission to Bavaria, where nothing is what it seems. Will she find a kindred spirit in her twin or an enemy lying in wait?

                         MY REVIEW 

  Jordan Korento is a legacy both her parents are legends in the vampire world . She has been training her whole life for the chance to prove that she is more then a princess. When she finds out that she has a twin brother who is with his uncle and aunt in the hostile territory . She takes her destiny into her own hands and goes out to find him . With the help of her ex girlfriend and a sergeant that you just can't really trust . She is off on an adventure that will take her and her friends to rescue the brother she never knew . 

   This is a spin off a popular book series The Ema Marx series . Jordan is the daughter of Jesus and Ema and man she is the image of her mother . She is feisty and fierce , she has trained her whole life to get into the fight. She has been born into privilege and wants to prover herself . She is only human though and does have some drawbacks with that . Her brother Logan is born as a Nephilim and he is well he is one mixed up young man . He is just a miss understood young man who is destined to be part of the demise of his sister . He is just trying to find his place in the world but can he . There are some old characters that come back which I personally loved . Each character is well written and complex . 

  I was so excited to hear that we are getting the next generation in the Ema Marx series . I devoured this book in an evening . The characters are well written and you get to see the new characters and get to hang out with some old characters . This book is set in two points of view from both main characters . I must admit that I truly enjoyed Logan's journey , it was like he was really trying to find his way in the wars . Jordan's journey was just as exciting but you kind of felt that she was ready for what was to come. Logan was more of a learn as you go kind of adventure . I truly enjoyed this book and so very happy that we are getting to go back to one of my favourite series with a new generation of characters. You don't have to read the first series but I would if you want to get to know Jesus and Ema before diving into Jordan and Logan . So if you want a good series starter check it out . I promise you will like them and want to see more from them

BACK AFTER A GREAT LONG WEEKEND

  Good afternoon peeps hope you all had a great weekend and if you have a long weekend like I did hope it was the last hurrah for the summer . Today I have for you the 4th book in the Gates of the Underworld series by Hp Mallor and J.R Rain. GOD OF WAR . 

                           BOOK BLURB

  The Fourth Gate of the Underworld is a landscape of ice and death…

The first three gates were no walk in the park, but when I arrive at Gate Four, I face all new horrors.

Led by the infamous Fallen God, Chaena, Gate Four is a land of neverending winter, of ice and snow amid a blizzard that could put Minnesota weather to shame.

As if the weather wasn’t bad enough, this level of the Underworld is also guarded by ice fae, whose touch is lethal and who seem like they really want to touch me.

At least I have the hunky Adonis by my side—a man who has become my friend, my protector, and my lover.

Strangely enough, I’m starting to believe I might be able to add one other person to that list (er, not the lover part)… Hades, The Lord of the Underworld, the supreme god of this terrible place.

Right.

Believe it or not, Hades keeps popping in at the most unexpected moments to deliver me from whatever awfulness I’m facing. And he’s got a message for me: he’s rooting for me, whatever that means.

I can only hope I survive Gate Four and Chaena’s deathly winter so I can make it to the Fifth Gate and finally face-off with Ares.

                       MY REVIEW 

   Pen and Adonis are on their way to gate four and if you thought the last three gates were hard this one is the worse yet .Gate four is a winter waste land where if the cold doesn't kill you the ice fairies will . Hades keeps popping in and taunting Pen at the most awkward times and if that isn't enough . Ares the  God she is suppose to fight is dream walking to her and they are having some unorthodox reactions to each other . What is a girl / demigoddess to do , pray that she can get through the gate and then get to the man she is going to face off with to get her sister back . 

 Pen and Adonis are back and they are getting better then ever . Pen is having a bit of crisis  of fate and heart right now . She is trying to figure what is going on and how she is going to survive . She is stronger then she realizes and will do almost anything to get to her sister . Time is running out and she knows it so it adds pressure to an already hot situations . She is really growing as a character . Adonis is well he is still hot and willing to do anything to keep Pen safe. They are growing stronger but I feel they are also growing a little apart from each other  you can feel it . Hades is well he is as rogue as ever , he is the cad that just shows up at the most awkward times just to try and get Pen and shake her confidence.  We also get to finally see more from Ares and what makes him tick . We find out a bit of his back story and honestly I think he is just a misunderstood God that was screwed over by a goddess. 

  This is the book 4 in the series and I am thinking it is one of the better books in the series . We get a lot of back story about Ares which is fun to read about . The authors really do paint a great sweeping picture of the Gates and what they go through in each gate . I am really enjoying this series and can't wait to see where the authors take us in the book . I can't wait to see Pen and Ares finally square off . So if you want a great series for this fall check it out .

WOOHOO IT IS FRIDAY

  Good afternoon peeps today is a little cooler out  so it is another good day to grab a book and sit in the sun and read . Today I have an unique anthology for you.  ALPHA QUEEN  by various authors including S,K Gregory, Lore Nicol and six other authors . 

                        BOOK BLURB

 Every Pack needs an Alpha...

In a pack, you answer to the Alpha, without question, but what happens when you don't want the job? Or when the other wolves are against you?

It's never easy being in charge, but for these Alpha Queens, it could prove deadly...

This collection of paranormal and urban fantasy tales explores the world of werewolf packs and female Alphas. Our heroines will face their deepest fears, darkest urges and terrible betrayals, but a Queen always comes out on top.

                        MY REVIEW 

   Every pack needs an alpha , but what happens when you don't want the job and everyone has to answer to you without question. Even when other wolves are against you . Its a hard line to hoe but these female alphas are here to prove them all wrong and fight with those fights that will prove that she can handle anything that comes their way .

  These are a collection of paranormal and urban fantasy stories with a a great twist to them . The main characters are all fearless women who come into their Alpha powers and honestly don't want the powers at first but come into them and take them on fearlessly . They are all well written and complex and you will love them . 

  I liked the stories in this anthology , I really liked SHE WOLF by S.K  Gregory . Aria has run away from the pack and all she wanted to do was sing .Until the day she gets kicked out of the band and find out that her dad the alpha and her brother are dead . Now she is on her way back to Stone mountain to take what is rightfully hers and honestly does she want to be back and see the people she hurt . Will she be the alpha she knows she can be or will she give it all up and run away again . 

  I truly love Aria she is one of those women who know what she wants even if at first she doesn't want it . She is a tough cookie when push comes to shove she will fight for everything and everyone .  Her mom is a card she may be tough but she is still in mourning but like her daughter when push comes to shove she will fight for family . Ryan is her best friend and the sweetest guy out there but he has been hurt and he is not ready to get involved with someone who is just going to run . These characters are very well written and complex . 

  This is a fun fast read and the characters are very well written. The author takes us on an emotional rollercoaster .  I truly liked this story very much and couldn't put it down . There were some funny times and then there are times where you will want to keep them safe when things start to go awry . I wish the story could of been a bit longer to flesh out the characters more . So if you want a fun read check out this anthology . Your fall reading list will love you for it

WOW ITS SEPTEMBER

  Good morning peeps , well it sure doesn't feel like September out there today . Its going to hit 95 degrees F out here on the the farm today . A great day to sit in the house with a good book . Today I have for you a new author to me . Angel Van Atta and her horror book  THE CHILD. 

                            BOOK BLURB

 Sarah is worried. More than just worried. Sarah is terrified. Her young daughter, Emma, hasn't been acting herself lately and it's getting harder and harder to keep the whole thing under wraps. Especially when Nadine, the nosy neighbor from next door, is starting to suspect something and Sarah's sister, Jess, just shows up unexpectedly, making everything even more difficult for Sarah. If there is one thing that Sarah does understand about Emma, one thing that she is absolutely sure of, it's that she loves her more than words could ever say and that she would do anything to protect her child. Will her mother's love be enough to save her little girl and will she be able to figure out what happened to her precious child before it's too late to bring her back?

                         MY REVIEW

  Sarah is one terrified mom, he daughter Emma hasn't been herself lately and it is getting harder to keep it under wraps. When her nosey neighbor starts to suspect something isn't just right . Then her sister shows up and just makes everything even more difficult . The one thing that Sarah does know for sure that she loves Emma and will do anything to keep her child safe and let her know that she is loved unconditionally. But will her love be enough to keep Emma safe and bring her back from what ever is holding her hostage. 

   This is one of those books that have such good characters .Sarah is a mom who has lost her husband and now her child isn't the child she was before . Sarah is worn out she is just tired of what she has to do to keep Emma safe . But deep down inside her she is a strong woman with a fight in her . She will take on what ever is going on and win. Emma well what can you say about her , she is well she really isn't human . She may come off as sweet at times but she is calculated and actually a scary menace to those people she thinks have wronged her . There are moments when you see the sweet little girl that she is but those are far and few between. Jesse is the big sister who comes to the rescue of Sarah and Emma . She is a no nonsense woman who shows up at the right time. She is like the breathe of fresh air that Sarah and Emma needed . The characters are so well written and complex the author has balanced the empathy and the sympathy for each character .

  This is one of those book where once you pick it up you won't be able to put it down . It starts out as an extreme horror book , trust me do not read the first couple of chapters before bed . Then is kind of morphs into a folk lore / horror book . I really got sucked into the story and was on the edge of my seat most of the time . Emma really kind of creeped me out but at the same time I really just wanted to wrap her up and hug her . The characters are very well written and you will love or hate them depending on moment in the story . I think you should add this book to  your fall reading list . So check it out if you love some good ole horror.
