HAPPY RELEASE DAY FELICITY HEATON
I know this is a rare Saturday post for me but today is release day for Felicity Heaton's new book CRAVED BY HER COUGAR (book 4 in the Cougar Creek Mates series )
BOOK BLURB
BOOK BLURB
For the last twenty years, Cobalt has burned with a need of one female, a beautiful raven-haired cougar who captured his heart the moment he set eyes on her. His position as pride protector has been a blessing at past mating gatherings, keeping females away, but this time it feels like the worst of curses, because the female who has bewitched him so thoroughly is taking part for the first time and all he can do is watch as males battle for her.
As much as she hates the way her mother controls everything in her life, Ember is thankful for it as she constantly turns away suitors, unaware of the pain she’s sparing Ember from with every male she rejects. Every male who isn’t the gorgeous blond with darkness in his eyes and an easy smile she burns for with an intensity that scares her, awakens feelings in her that have her verging on doing something reckless. Damaged goods he might be, dangerous and unpredictable, but with every contest over her that pulls her closer to her doom, she grows more determined to follow her heart, no matter the consequences.
With every fight over the right to Ember, the tethers on Cobalt’s feelings twist and threaten to snap, a torment he cannot bear and one that has him willing to risk it all, because a single kiss would make even the harshest punishment worth it. He would die for one moment with her… his fated mate.
Discover four sexy cougar shifter brothers guaranteed to become your next book boyfriends in this hot new shapeshifter romance series from New York Times and USA Today international best-selling author Felicity Heaton, set in the same rich and addictive world as her Eternal Mates paranormal romance series.

MY REVIEW
In this book we meet Cobalt , for the last twenty years he has wanted this one girl . Ember , they have been friends forever and now that she is coming to the gathering . Cobalt is torn between his duty of pride protector and the pull his fated mate is calling to him . Will they be able and get the one he truly loves. Or will his demons from the past come back and haunt him.
This is book 4 in the series and I think the author left the best for the last , The characters are so well written and complex . Cobalt is a complicated guy . He has been through a lot, the loss of his parents and then the loss of his business. He is hurting and when we meet him he is barely hanging on by a thread . He is oh so sexy and trust me ladies you will want to climb him like a spider monkey. But he is also broken and the only person that fix that is Ember . I have met her in other books and I didn't really like her at the beginning but she has grown on me. She is strong and knows what she wants , Cobalt . She is sexy and sweet all rolled into one , she knows how to work her curves but also is kind of shy . They are so hot together when they get together. Rath and the other cougars make an appearance to help keep the peace .
This book has a lot of angst in it . You will get sucked in and trust me ladies you want to get sucked into this book . I couldn't put it down , I was cheering for the main characters . They so needed to come to terms and let the past be the past . The author throws a lot at them and takes us on an adventure. There are parts of this book that will melt your kindle so have a cold drink close by . Enjoy the series ladies . I am kind of sad that this is the last brothers book . I truly like all the books and the author's way of story telling . So if you want a fun read that will have you reading all night long .

well its FRIDAY all
Welcome to Friday finally , today we are going to review the next book in one of the best epic fantasy series I have had the pleasure of reading in a long time . DARKBLADE SLAYER by Andy Peloquin
BOOK BLURB
BOOK BLURB
To save the future, he must confront the truth of his past.
The Hunter will not rest until his blade pierces the demonic Sage’s heart.
His pursuit leads across windswept plains, into an ancient holy vault, and through a barren mountain range. Beside him is Hailen, the mysterious child with dangerous magical abilities—abilities that are dragging the boy deep into madness.
The only hope of putting an end to the Sage and curing Hailen is to reach the lost city of Enarium.
It’s a terrifying race against time and monstrous foes to kill a demon, save a child, and avert the end of the world.
Buy now to dive into the latest in the epic Hero of Darkness series. Hang on to your seat and take a ride into dark fantasy of the best kind
MY REVIEW
For the Hunter all roads lead to the lost city of Enarium and the trail of the Sage and his evil plan. Along with the hunter young Hailen is with him . The sweet young boy who has magical powers that are driving him mad slowly . Along the way they are chased by a knight that wants him dead. They travel over windswept plains and mountains that could kill you as you try and cross . All to save the child and end the hell that is the Sage . But there is more to the city like a mystery woman that knows more and has a past that the hunter needs to find out
This is the five in the series and it just keeps getting better with each book. The characters have grown and become more complex. The Hunter is more then a killer that he was in the first books . He has grown and become more then just the killer . He has become a hero and a bit more . I really like where the author has taken the Hunter . He really has expanded the character adding more layers to him with each book . We see more sides of him . He takes on such a parental role with Hailen . Which is such a sweet side to him. Don't get me wrong he is still the Hunter and will do anything to protect those who are in his care . There is a surprise waiting for him that will send the Hunter in a totally different direction. I will not tell you but it has been mentioned in other books . There are old enemies chasing the Hunter that will set you on edge through out the book . Trust me you will be cheering when these enemies are taken care of .
This book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time . This series has grown so much, and the story line is so good . I love how the author can weave a tale that will have you second guessing enemies and then not being real sure about the friends The author brings back old enemies that you thought were gone and uses them to their full advantage . Just fyi there is some horribly written poetry in this book but it is suppose to be there . So don't stop reading because you hit the horrible poetry . You will figure it out soon enough . Be prepared to fall into a fast paced dark fantasy that will keep you up all night long . Where there are no easy decisions and if you decide wrong you and all those you care fore can be is despair . So if you like dark fantasy book that will challenge you and books that you can't put down this is the series for you , You have to read the books in order to understand what is going on but you will get them done fast .

WELCOME TO TUESDAY ALL
Hey all welcome to Tuesday all ready . Hope your Monday was good for you . Today we are going to review SOULLESS AT SUNSET (Last Witch Standing book one ) by Deanna Chase .

BOOK BLURB

MY REVIEW
What do you do if you are a witch that can kick a shifters butt . You work for the Void to help keep the peace in New Orleans . Phoebe Kilsen is a vampire hunter and is smack dab in the middle of the war brewing in New Orleans . When her best friend and her husband go missing . It will take Phoebe and her sexy shifter partner Dax to find them . Trust is broken and secrets are betrayed . Will Phoebe and Dax be able to find their friends and stop the battle brewing in their town of Crescent City .
This is a brand new series for this author and I couldn't put it down . I got sucked in from the first chapter. I love the characters Phoebe is kick butt and so sassy . She is such a strong woman and she takes on the strongest man and bring him to his knees . But she also has a curse . The author doesn't really tell us about the curse but she alludes to it . I hope she brings more of the curse out in other books . I truly like Phoebe and her attitude. She is the friend you want in your corner when you need her . Now Dax well what can we say about him . He is hot , sexy and oh so yummy . He is a wolf shifter who has the hots for Phoebe and they are hot together oh so hot together . But he has secrets that he is trying to figure out . They make a great team and when push comes to shove they are there for each other and will tear down New Orleans to find each other and the ones they love .
This is one of those books that when you sit down to read it be prepared to be in the same spot until you are finished the book. I have never laughed so hard at some of the antics Phoebe and the guys get up too . They are such a fun read . The author puts them through so much at times you just want to hug them and tell them that everything will be ok. This is a spin off series of the Crescent City Faes series but you don't need to know them to read this series . The characters are fresh and fun and you will love to read them . There is a mystery , intrigue and sexy times . You will laugh and maybe shed a tear or two . Also you might throw you kindle across the room cause well lets just say Dax could peeve you off a bit but he does redeem himself . So if you want a great series that will keep you glued to your seat until you are done . This is the series for you . You should add this series to you fall reading list . You will not be disappointed .

BOOK BLURB
BOOK BLURB
Reapers always play for keeps.
Reap what you sow. That's been Angelica Wright's motto since joining the Department of Soul Acquisitions as a Reaper. It's served her well over the years, a reminder the mortals who end up in her case files sealed their fate when they signed their deal with the Devil. Reapers have one job - collecting souls - and Angelica is good at her job.
And then a Necromancer moves into town and takes up collections of his own. Competition is good for business but there's just one problem - the souls are innocents - and that just wont' do.
Thrust into a partnership with Jackson Reed, the silver-tongued seller of salvation who's been on her tail and poaching her collections, Angelica has her hands full.
In order to chase down the Necro, she'll have to work with the Sin Eater who's been chasing after her for months or the Reaper may end up reaped herself....

MY REVIEW
Ok I must admit I kind of squealed when I found out that there was a new series coming out by this author . I loved her Maurin kincaide series . So I was ecstatic when I heard she was coming out with a new book . A book about Reapers , now what trouble could a reaper get into well Angelica is about to find out . She is good at her job but when a sin eater comes into her life and has been chasing after her for a couple of months . Also she has to dodge her dad like figure Lucifer and his wanting to take her to court and marry her off . What's a girl to do when a powerful necromancer shows up and starts reeking havoc . Will they survive and will she be able to stay topside .
I think I might have some new characters to love . Angelica and Jackson are such fun characters to read . Angelica is a coffee drinking ,sassy woman . Who can kick your butt and reap you faster then lightening . She is so funny and has a wise crack for almost any come back . But deep inside we see that she has been hurt by her mother and she really likes to push the buttons of her so called step father, Lucifer . Jackson is really cute and he is not cocky. You will like him, I know I did . Then there is Lucifer , he is such a dad in this story. You think he only wants what is good for Angelica but he of course is wrong . They have some great sparring sessions . You know the typical dad and daughter stuff . But the character I really liked was Smithie the Black . He is demon but he has a heart . He helps with the souls that cross over . He is friends with Angelica and he is a big mystery through out the book .
This is a book that you can sit down with a cup of tea and read in an afternoon. The characters are well written and you will fall in love with them . The author takes us on a fun filled ride that will make you giggle in some parts and might just melt your kindle in other spots . This is a fun filled twist on the Reapers and sin eaters . You will devour this book and it will leave you wanting more . So if you want a good fun twist on Reapers . This book is the one for you . Add it to your fall reading list .

BOOK BLURB
Having lost his parents and mate in a brutal attack on his cougar shifter pride by a hunter organisation, Rath burns with a need to keep humans off his land and out of his life. He’ll do whatever it takes to protect his pride from them, but when a lone female wanders into his territory, it isn’t a burning need to drive her away he’s feeling and it isn’t his pride that needs protecting—it’s his heart.
Down on her luck, Ivy follows a lead to a spot where she hopes to photograph black bears, but what she discovers there is a mountain of a man who lacks manners and seems determined to drive her off his property—a man who stirs unbidden fire in her veins and a strange sense of home.
With a pride gathering on the verge of happening at Cougar Creek and the air charged with a mating heat, the last thing Rath needs is a human on his land, especially one as beautiful and alluring as Ivy, one who rouses a fierce need to fight for her, but he can’t convince himself to let her go… and that proves dangerous for them both.
Discover four sexy cougar shifter brothers guaranteed to become your next book boyfriends in this hot new shapeshifter romance series from New York Times and USA Today international best-selling author Felicity Heaton, set in the same rich and addictive world as her Eternal Mates paranormal romance series.

Book 4: Craved by her Cougar
MY REVIEW
Welcome to Cougar creek, a secluded area in the Canadian Rockies for a good reason . This is cougar territory but there are more to these cougars then meets the eye . Lets meet Rath a surly , sexy man who doesn't want humans on his land and Ivy the woman that will capture more then the bears she is going to photograph . With the gathering happening and the sexual tension heating up between the two of them . Will they survive the onslaught of what is to come and will they survive each other .
I must say when I found out that the author had written a new series with cougar shifters . Well I thought if they are going to be anything like the vampires from her other series . We would be in for a roller coaster ride of emotion that would keep you on the edge of your seat . They would also melt your kindle at the same time . She didn't disappoint one bit . The characters are complex and well lets just say hot as sin . Rath is a mountain of man , who is sexy as sin and oh so broody . One moment you want to smack him upside the head and the next moment you want to climb him like a spider monkey in heat. Yes he is that sexy . But there is more to this mountain of a man . He has some heartache that has made him distrust any human that he comes in contact with . He would rather be by himself then mate with anyone . Until Ivy , I really liked her , she is spunky and sweet . She is such a good character . She will stand her ground when she needs to but also is a little unsure of herself . You really just want to wrap her up in a blanket and hug her tight .She does surprise us though and really starts to stand up and kick butt towards the end of the book She shows that she is tougher then she looks and wants what she wants and will go after it . They are great characters alone but when they are together they are hot and I mean hot.
This was a really good read , I read it in an afternoon I just couldn't put it down . The author takes us on a rollercoaster ride . I really love the fact the author is using the Canadian Rockies as the back drop . Being a Canadian girl that makes me so happy . I also liked how the author slowly and steadily builds the story and takes us along for the ride . There are hot scenes that will melt your kindle and she also adds some intrigue and danger too. I so can't wait to read the rest of the series and meet the rest of the brothers . I know they will be as hot as Rath . So if you want a great series to heat up your fall nights check out this series . I promise you will not be disappointed

The night I’m released from prison, she’s in my bed.
It’s been eight years since I touched a woman, and the Native American beauty is half-dressed, beaten, bruised, and devastatingly exquisite.
We’re toxic together, but we want the same things. Blood. Vengeance.
Violent relief in a warm body.
Beneath her touch, I’m alive.
Against her skin, I’m redeemed.
Buried inside her, I forget the past.
Until the past takes her from me.
Prison made me cold, but losing Raina makes me cruel. Ruthless. Unforgiving.
I killed before. For her, I’ll kill again.
I’ll end this once and for all or die in my boots.

MY REVIEW
This is the third book in the trails of sin series and this is Lorne's book. I have been not so patiently waiting for this book . Lorne is Conors brother and the poor man has been locked up in prison for the last eight years . When he gets out he is not himself and when he finds Raina , his fathers ex concubine , all battered and bruised in his bed . He is attracted but all he feels dead inside . There is only one thing he wants and it is vengeance. But with Raina he feels for the first time and he wants more then the vengeance . They are broken but can they repair each other and will they be able to over come what is about to happen.
The characters in this book didn't disappoint . Lorne well lets just say , I couldn't wait to see what the author had in store for Lorne. You know he has a good heart and wants to be the man he use to be but prison was hard on him . It changed him in ways that most people would be scared of . He became hard and cruel . You want to save him over and over again. He is oh so sexy and brooding you don't know if you want to hug him or climb him like a spider monkey. He is also loyal to a fault with his family , they are unconditional love for him and his main supporters .
Raina well she is one mixed up ball of emotion. She has been used and abused for so long that is all she knows . She uses sex to get what she wants but she seems so detached when she does . There is so much more to her then we see at the beginning of the book . She actually is a sweet woman who can cook just about anything and can whip up a holistic potion to help out all most anything ailment . She is also stronger then she lets on . She goes after what she wants and won't let anyone get in her way . Together they are combustible you can so feel the sexual tension between them . They will make your kindle melt.
The rest of the crew is also back , I love them all and when push comes to shove family is always there to help you out . Even if it is to leave you alone while you work things out or take a bullet meant for you .
I was so excited when I saw Lorne's book out . I couldn't put it down. The characters were very well written and I loved the story line . The author really puts you through the wringer with this book . The roller coaster ride is long and winging but the ride is worth it . The story has so much going on , there are some spots that will melt your kindle , other parts you will want to throw your kindle across the room . You will love the characters and you will hate them at the same time . There were a few spots in the book where I just felt that the author kind of let it slide a bit . Especially towards the end . I felt like the author could of ramped it up just a bit more and give it the big ending that the series needed . Don't get me wrong the last chapters were amazing but I guess I wanted more . Over all I loved this book and couldn't put it down. I wanted to see if everyone will have their happily ever afters . This book has to be read in the series so you can understand what is going on . So if you want a hot dark series with cowboys check out the Trails of Sin series you will not be disappointed

GOOD MONDAY ALL
Welcome to Monday , sorry I haven't been around last week but the dreaded migraine hit me hard . But I am back and we are going to review a new author to me T,M Logan and his book LIES
BOOK BLURB
BOOK BLURB
“Assured, compelling, and hypnotically readable—with a twist at the end I guarantee you won’t see coming” (New York Times bestselling author Lee Child), T. M. Logan’s debut psychological thriller dissects a troubled marriage straight to the marrow as one man separates the truth from the Lies…
Six days ago, Joe Lynch was a happily married man, a devoted father, and a respected teacher living in a well-to-do London suburb. But that was before he spotted his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Before he saw her in a heated argument with her best friend’s husband. Before Joe confronted the other man in an altercation where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious.
Now, Joe’s life is unraveling. His wife has lied to him. Her deception has put their entire family in jeopardy. The man she met at the hotel has vanished. And as the police investigate his disappearance, suspicion falls on Joe.
Unable to trust the woman he loves, Joe finds himself at the mercy of her revelations and deceits, unsure of who or what to believe. All he knows is that her actions have brought someone dangerous into their lives—someone obsessed with her and determined to tear Joe’s world apart.
What if your whole life was based on LIES?
MY REVIEW
What would you do if all of a sudden the life you were living turned out to be built on lies . Nothing you thought was real turned out not . Meer Joe Lynch , six days ago he was living a good life , with a wonderful wife , good job a son . Until the day he say his wife heading to a hotel and having an argument with their best friend . After fighting Joe leaves the man bleeding and unconscious . But that doesn't end there, his world starts to unravel after the man disappears and suspicion lands squarely on Joe's shoulders . What he does now is to save his family but can he trust the woman he loves and will he survive the man she brought into their lives .
The first part of this book had me on the edge of my seat . You watch Joe start to loose his whole life slowly , you can't get enough. You want to make it so much better for them You watch his life unravel before your eyes . You start to think were is his best friend , did Joe kill him or is he just playing with them . Will Joe ever figure out if he is playing cat and mouse with Joe and his family. You really feel for Joe as he tries to unravel what is going on . One moment you want to hug him and the next min you want to scream at him to watch his back. There are moments though when Joe just seems naïve and you want to shake him. Mel, his wife is really kind of annoying . She just lies and lies . You really can't trust her from the very beginning . She treats Joe like dirt some of the time . Now Ben wow what can you say about Ben he is well lets just say he is evil and he needed to be gone .
This was a good read the first part of the book had me on the edge of me seat I couldn't put it down . Then it started going off in so many different directions it was hard to keep track of what was happening . I felt that some of the craziness that the author put the main character through could of been trimmed back just a little and it would of kept the story flowing better . Over all I truly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to someone that wants to have a good fall read . The twist in the end is worth it .

This book is a little different then the other two . We have missing children and more players in the game this time . We have small town sheriff Amanda Beacher , who is hiding a big secret. She is tough but also hiding a lot of pain. You want her to be strong and help Marlowe get the person behind the kidnappings . But she is having trouble getting over her past and what happened . You kind of really don't like her at the beginning . It seems like she has a big chip on her shoulder that you really want to knock off . When you find out her past and her secret you really kind of warm up to her a bit . She does really need an attitude adjustment though . You will either like her or hate her but you will have a reaction to her. Marlowe and the gang are back and questioning the towns people . A couple that stand out are Ms Headly who is the old grouchy lady of the town . She seems to have no good things to say about anyone . I laughed when I read her all she cared about was her mail box being knocked over . Then there was Sam Ewell, the loner and outcast that wanders the streets of Red Weed . He is creepy and I mean creepy . You think that oh my maybe he actually is the one who did it. The author also lets us in on the back stories of Marlowe's team and what makes them the team they are . We find out about Lori's past and what she had gone through , that molded her into the person she is . We also find out about Marlowe's past and wow its a doozy peeps . Trust me you will love these characters and cheer for all of them .
The author takes us on a rollercoaster ride . The story is full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat . I read this book in a day and I just couldn't put it down . The author has a way of writing that will suck you in and keep you glued to the pages . The characters are complex and strong . The story line is well a little dark . I mean missing kids the sentences just sends chills down your spin. Cause it could happen in real life and it could happen to anyone . I will say that each book in the series is really good . They just keep getting better and better . I hope that there will be more books in this series in the future . I would love to see where the author takes these characters . I mean they have been shot at and almost blown up on a couple occasions . A child abduction should be easy right . Well not in this case, the author will lead you in one way and then bam take you in a totally different direction . You should try and read all the books in the series before to understand the characters . But if you don't want to read this could be read as a stand alone and you won't get lost in the characters or story lines . Each story is doesn't have a cliff hanger and you do get a ending that will make your relieved . So if you want a great book and series to add to your fall and winter reading list . This series is a must
BOOK BLURB
Homicide detective Marlowe Gentry is back...because killing's always in season! Three six-year-old girls vanish from a playground in Red Weed, Alabama, and they aren’t the first. Two others have disappeared over the last five years, all in October. Marlowe Gentry and his team believe the abductions are part of a ritual, the kidnapper acting out some event from their past. Clothes and toys taken suggest the children are still alive and being held captive…for now. As they delve deeper into the case, Marlowe finds a town where everyone hides personal demons…and secrets. To uncover the truth, he and his team must peel back layers of deception, veiled agendas, and horrible realities. The clock is ticking. The girls don’t have much time left…if it isn’t already too late.

BOOK BLURB
The Black Eagles and their loved ones can finally put the dark times behind them. Their recent dance with death saw them stand strong when it looked like all was lost. With determination and positivity, they are set on moving forward and not looking back. The demons from the past have been defeated but just as they feel calm and secure they are reminded that for every demon you beat, another is waiting in the shadows.
Can love and friendship withstand the pressure? Can they hold on one final time and keep the promises they made at the very beginning?

MY REVIEW
Welcome back on the tour bus one last time . The band is trying to get on with their lives after the attack from Amber . Amber is finally gone and the band thinks they can get on with their lives Melissa , Beth and the girls are a force to be reckoned with in this book . There I a new threat comes out of the wood work to try and beat them down . But will the love and their friendship survive the new threat . And can they keep the promises that were made so long ago at the beginning of their careers .
I will say that this book has a little bit more mystery to it then the other two books had . In the other books we knew who the attacker was . In book three the author makes us think and try and figure out who the new attacker is . I must say I love the characters Beth and Megan in this story . They have become such strong women . Beth has been through so much your heart breaks for her . When we find out her past , you will cry . This poor woman has been through so much ' She comes out a stronger better person because of her past. Megan is such a cool character . She has grown so much through out the series . You will like her kick butt attitude and wiliness to help . Melissa well poor Melissa she goes through it again but does come out the other side . All the character have grown and become complex and seeing them finally get their happily ever afters after all the pain.
The final book in the series has some great twists and turns in it . One min you are thinking that wow could it get any worse for these people . Bam the author takes us in a totally different direction and sends us on another chase to find out the person behind the threats . You see how the couples have grown and matured through out the book . This is in my opinion is the best of the three books . Because it actually focuses on more then the main characters . The author uses the other characters well and their stories came out in a brilliant way . This is a good series and I think you should add it to your fall and winter reading list .

MY REVIEW
Welcome back to the tour bus . Everything is starting to settle down after what happened with Jay- Den and Amber . Luke and Melissa are healing from what happened to them nd the band . Everyone is picking up the pieces and trying to find trust again . But you know there is going to be more demons out there to get them and try and break the band and the couples up Will they be able to forgive and heal or will the friendships and the band be torn apart .
The poor characters , Encore picks up where Strings left off . Melissa is battling with herself about what happened and trying to heal and Luke well Luke is Luke but he has some healing to do also . Melissa has become stronger but also she is a lot less trusting of everyone . To the point some times its kind of annoying . I know she is trying hard but sometimes her neediness gets in the way of really liking her . Luke is well Luke trying to fix everything for everyone . The characters I really liked in this book were Beth and Dale . Beth has been through so much and all she wants is a family . She is sweet but also kick butt strong . Dale well he is gruff and a typical rocker but when it comes to Beth he is like a kitty cat . They are the couple of the book . Amber is back reeking havoc with the band and threatening them all again and she has a new accomplice Aiden . He is slimy big time . You will love to hate him .
This book has much more action then the first book . We are taken on a emotional ride with the band . The author really puts the characters through it again . But I must admit this the story felt a little lacking of something . Not sure how it is lacking but it seems like every time they go out on tour the crazies come out and it kind of felt like a fluffier then the first book. Over all I did enjoy this second book in the series . I read it in an evening . I am liking the series so far . Can't wait to read book 3 in the series . So check out the series . They must be read in order so you will understand what is happening .

MY REVIEW
This is the second series I have read that is all about rock n roll. Let me introduce you the Black Eagles a rock band on the rise . They are on the fast track and Melissa Webb the girlfriend of the frontman Luke Black . When Luke goes missing and Melissa is in the hospital hurt . Their world crumbles around them and they need to find Luke before its too late.
You will absolutely love the characters in this book . Melissa is a sweet girl who with the love of her man can get through anything. It starts with Melissa in the hospital and tells the story from then on how she ended up there . At first you kind of are sucked with a poor Melissa but as you read you find out how strong she is. Luke is well he is a guys guy and loves the lime light . He comes of cocky sometimes but with his friends and the woman he loves he is the rock that holds them all together . The rest of the band . Dale , Toby and Tom . They are close knit and more like brothers then band mates .Now with every band they have their fans and their stalkers and this band is no different. Amber is crazy and I mean crazy . She will do anything to get Luke for her own . You have to read the book see what happens with her .
This story has a bit before it starts to get really good . It really picks up in chapter 2 . Chapter 1 sets up the story and why Melissa is in the hospital . The author takes us on a roller coaster ride and trust me it is a tear jerker sometimes . There are a couple of intense scenes with the label head and what he does to Melissa. But she comes through it . You will cheer and cry and yell at your kindle while you are reading . Be prepared to not get anything done once you start reading . You will want to jump right into the second book after you are finished the first one . So if you like rock n roll check them out . Put them on your fall and winter reading list

BOOK BLURB
BOOK BLURB
One night a life changed. My life.
I used to write about chaos – about lives turning on a dime. Never once did I think it would ever happen to me. I went from a blossoming career to a prisoner in the span of a single evening. A living nightmare I was determined to escape.
The price of evil was high, but I wasn’t backing down. I knew in my heart the men in my life would be looking. I just had to survive. One day at a time. Minutes turned to hours. Hours turned into days. Then, it was time to make a choice.
Live or Die?
I chose to live.
Hell hath no fury and I had no more time...

MY REVIEW
I sat down and started reading this book , thought I would read some and put it down and go about my day . Well I was mistaken , I read the book in one sitting . Supper was not made and laundry didn't get folded . I got very invested in this book. It sucked me in right from the get go . The author took me down a dark tunnel . What would you do if you were having the time of your life . You had a great writing career and a man who loved you unconditionally. That was Dani-lyn's life . She had a best selling novel and a hot sexy sheriff that loved her oh and she had a secret . Until the night it all went terribly wrong . When she was taken from her hometown book signing . Will the men in her life find her before it is too late .
What can I saw about the characters in this book. They are complex and well written . Dani-lyn was a character at the beginning of the book I really was on the fence about her . She was timid and well it felt like she was a little naïve . But as you read along through the book and you watched her go through everything that she went through , You really see her grow and be come a warrior . She took her getting out of where she was in her own hands . The one woman that actually really scared me was Nicole . Man she was crazy and I mean scary crazy. She was always around Dani watching and waiting . Not going to tell you anymore about her cause I will spoil it for you . The supporting characters are all well written and help find Dani .
This story is not for the faint of heart . There are scenes of sexual and physical abuse and some torture . This is a book full of twists and turns . I honestly couldn't put this book down . I wanted to know if she was going to make it out alive . This is also the first book where it was a female stalker , stalking another female . Which to me made the book even better . I will say the twist at the end will have you going what the heck . You will cheer for the characters and you will also cry . Trust me some of the stuff Dani went through , I had tears in my eyes . I truly felt for her at the end of the book. I can't wait to read the rest of the series . If you want a dark read with plenty of twists and turns add this series to your fall and winter reading list .
