GOOD MONDAY ALL

   Good Monday all , hope everyone is going to have a great day . Today I have a new author to me . Kara Leigh Miller and her first book in the cursed series . ETERNAL CURSED . 


                            BOOK BLURB 



  After pulling the plug on her mother’s life support, seventeen-year-old Chloe Madison moves to live with relatives she hardly knows. Her new hometown in the Adirondack Mountains is barely more than a pinpoint on the map, but it’s shrouded in deadly secrets and strange family legends. Chloe is determined to keep her head down, finish high school, and get the heck out of there. Until she meets the enigmatic Trent Halstead. Something intriguing hides beneath his quiet self-assurance and hero hair. Maybe there’s something—or someone—worth sticking around for after all.

But when a rash of unsolved murders leaves two of Chloe’s classmates dead, she begins to suffer from disturbing hallucinations that build to the horrifying image of Trent as a murderous vampire. With nowhere else to go, she’s stuck in a town she hates, surrounded by people she can’t trust, and she’s pretty sure she’s going to be lunch.

If all that isn’t bad enough, Trent is hiding a lethal secret, besides the whole immortal bloodsucker thing. He’s the not-so-proud owner of an ancient, family curse—no Halstead will ever know true love—and he’s desperate to find a way to break the curse. Could Chloe be the key to his happiness or just another secret Trent wished he never unlocked?


                      MY REVIEW
  After Chloe looses her mother and now is headed to a new home in Keene Valley and her aunt and uncles house .  All she wants to do is finish high school and get out until she meets Trent . Then everything starts to go haywire . Chloe is having bad dreams and hallucinations that are showing the boy she likes is more . Trent is hiding a secret that is lethal . Will they be able to find the love that beckons them and figure out who is murdering the kids . 

  Chloe just wants to have her mom back , you just want to hug her and tell her everything  will be ok . She is your typical teen ager who well is going through a rough time . She sometimes comes off as a little bit naive but I can understand why . She has been through so much . Trent well he is hot and actually sweet . He really doesn't carry around that I am better then you attitude , There is more to him then what people see , he is hiding a big secret . Which you find out about early in the story . There are so many characters that influence both main characters . Some for the good and some to the bad . 

  This is a book that will have you believing in love at first sight and the relationships that can come out of that . There is everything in this book , you have a mystery, romance, all the angst that you can want . The author sets up the story great and takes us on an edge of the seat adventure . The characters are well written and complex and you will love them and hate them.  Yes this does kind of have the vibe a twilight book but I think it is actually a little bit more intense then the other books . I truly liked this book and enjoyed the characters very much . So if you want a good clean read that your teen can read too . Check it out  you will not be disappointed

MAN IT IS ALREADY THE LAST WEEK IN MARCH

   Good afternoon every one I can't believe it is the last Sunday in March . Today I have the fifth book in the Detective Cadillac Holland mystery series by H. Max Hiller . PARISH THE THOUGHT 


                           BOOK BLURB 



   Revenge may be a dish best served cold, but this is Louisiana, where everything gets a splash of hot sauce.

Detective Cadillac Holland is called upon to locate Senator Chester Donovan’s missing daughter-in-law. A pool of blood in the trunk of her Mercedes exposes unexplained deaths in a town once described as being a place “where there are more alligators than people, and the alligators are friendlier.” The solution to this mystery lies buried in the town’s sordid history, a story that changes with each telling. Detective Holland must find what is driving an innovative and vengeful killer before he becomes their next victim.


                       MY REVIEW 
  When detective Holland is called upon to find the senator's missing daughter he stumbles upon more then just a missing girl . When a pool of blood is found in her Mercedes the detective is in for more then he bargained for while investigating . With each telling of the story the detective has to figure out what is true and what is not , before the killer strikes again. 

   Holland is back and stronger then ever , I love how he can think outside the box when it comes to his findings. He is witty and charismatic . He knows how to do his job and will do almost anything to get the job done.  Chef Tony and the gang are also back helping out where needed. 

 This is the second book I have read by this author and I must say it was a very good read . The author puts a lot of twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat all the way through.  The characters are well written and complex and you will really like them . There was  a big twist in this book that will actually have your jaws dropping in an OMG  moment . Now with that being said I have to say that the beginning of this book was just a little slow and I felt it could of been punched up a bit and move faster . Over all I really enjoyed this book and the style of this authors writing . I can't wait to read more from this author . So if you want a good mystery to read this spring check it out.

GOOD SATURDAY ALL

 Good Saturday all , its the weekend and its going to be a good one for reading . Today I have the second book in the Home grown Cafe book club series .  THE FARMER TAKES A HUSBAND by Mellanie Szeroto


                              BOOK BLURB



   The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

Organic farmer Riley Fenniman is happily single at forty-seven and refuses to acknowledge an attraction to her younger accountant, let alone surrender to it. Unfortunately, a legal catch in her farm’s ownership and a health scare give her no choice in the matter. The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club have the perfect plan to ensure Riley’s cousin can’t get his greedy paws on her legacy, but it includes a husband and two pubescent girls.

CPA Deacon Jeffries has carried a torch for his favorite client for over a year, but she would probably sooner light him with it than return his affection. She makes an offer he can’t refuse to save her farm, one that makes his wish come true and gives his daughters the mother they need—except for lessons in dropping f-bombs. When the secret she’s keeping reveals itself, he’ll have to choose between self-preservation and love.


                       MY REVIEW
 Riley is not having a great day, she is going through a bad health scare and to top it off she is fighting with her cousin who is trying to get his hands on her organic farm . What she didn't know was what was going to happen in a matter of 24 hours and the solution to the problem could be the man that she has secretly wanted for awhile now. Deacon is the man who can be the man that can help her out, Will they be able to come sort of agreement and finally realize that they are meant to be together.

   This is Riley's book and man it is funny. Riley is a strong willed woman who actually does have a soft side but she doesn't show it too often .There is also kind of a sadness to her that you just want to hug her . She just comes off as combative most of the time , you really just want to shake her .  Deacon is a sweet guy who has been pining for Riley for awhile . He has been hurt before and just wants to be a good dad to his daughters. He is a good guy but he does have his flaws also. They are so cute together even when they are fighting. 

   This is the second book in the series and it was a good read, I must say that this book kind of had me a little upset . Riley was hard to really like she was just so hard headed at the beginning . She did redeem herself and you will start to like her . Over all this is a fun little read and you will fall in love with the characters . There is a little bit of drama in the book about a lump in the breast but over all you will have a fun time reading this book .You could read it alone but its such a short read that you could read both books in the series in one evening . I think these would be a great summer read .

WOO HOO ITS THE WEEKEND

                       MY REVIEW

While chaos is running rampart NIcolaitanes is still on his rise to global domination on becoming the president of the world . But what is he going to do for mankind as he rises . Genera Ludlow is having second thoughts about Dark Angel . It is not doing things as was promised and the voice he hears is whispering that war is the right way to go to get rid of the evilness in the world . Will these three cross paths and will the world survive the end of days. 

 In the second installment of this series we get to dive deeper into each of the main characters .Serenity is fighting for her life and even with amnesia she is still a fighter . She is being protected by three people who all want what is best for the world . They have found their faith and want to have peace .  General Ludlow is well it seems like he is going crazy between the voice telling him that war was essential and his guilt is gnawing at him. He just doesn't know what he should be doing  everything just seems wrong . You start to hope that he is going to be ok . Then there is the man behind it all Nicoliatines , he is on a power trip on his way to being ruler of the world. You really don't know how to take him he is very charismatic  and everyone seems to love him . He is really not what he is portraying a real man hiding behind the mask . You really start to wonder what his true intentions are .  Is he truly evil or is there some thing redeeming in him way down deep 

  This is the second book in the series and starts right where book one left off .The author really dives deep into each character and their faith or the lack of faith. The author has a way of writing that will have you thinking about your own faith and what you believe in . This story goes really fast with each character really getting to the nitty gritty of what is going on . The story has a vibe like the stand . We have the good and the evil of Revelations . This series wil have you on the edge of your seat and have you thinking of how faith and God are in your life . So if you want a thought provoking series check it out .

MADE IT TO WEDNESDAY

   Good morning all , we made it to Wednesday and heading to the weekend . Today I have book two in the Death Island series . THE DISCOVERY  by Kelsey Ketch 


                             BOOK BLURB



 After arriving at Death Island, Meriden Cummings became haunted by dreams of a young Mayan woman’s death. A death, Meriden fears, foreshadows her own. And she soon discovers that in this tropical paradise, there are many ways to die. On top of that, the pirates after her great-grandfather’s treasure are not far behind. Can she and her crew stay one step ahead of them and the Mayan god that inhabits the island?

Meriden is not the only one haunted by the young Mayan woman’s death. Gregory Wilson has had similar dreams the moment he stepped foot on the island. In addition, he has seen the Mayan god of death, Ah Puch. Will he be able to protect Meriden from the earthly dangers as well as the supernatural forces seeking her demise?


                      MY REVIEW 
  They finally have made it to Death Island and things well aren't going so good. Meriden is being haunted by dreams of a Mayan woman's death . The death in the dream has Meriden worried thinking that it foreshadows her own impending death. On top of that pirates are chasing them around the island to get the gold .  But she isn't the only one person having those dreams . Gregory is having those same dreams and also. Will they survive the island and the supernatural forces that are swirling around there.

  Meriden is such a strong woman who knows how to fight and take care of herself . She along with the guys are trying to find their way around the island . They are running into some things that just aren't of this world. The characters are so well written and complex . The island alone is its own character with all the eerie stuff going on . Meriden has grown so much and can really take care of herself .  Gregory wants to keep Meriden safe and has growing feeling for her. That he hopes she has the same feelings . The cast of characters has grown we get to see the pirates that are chasing them and well they aren't the nicest of men . We also get to meat the Mayan god of death and he is just pure evil . 

  This story is full of action and adventure the author does a great job describing every aspect of the island. The story is full of suspense and had me on the edge of me seat most of the time. There is also a little bit of romance that the author slips in between all the supernatural and swash buckling that is going on.  Honestly to tell you the truth I liked this book a little bit more then book one. I felt we really got to know Gregory and his back story in this book . Which I really liked finally got to see more of him . So if you want a series that is packed full of pirates , supernatural beings and a little bit of romance . Check it out the series will keep you entertained until the end .

GOOD TUESDAY ALL

    Good Tuesday all , hope your day is going great and you have books to read and time to read them . Today I have another new series from two of my favourite authors .  PRINCESS OF LOST MEMORIES   by Hp Mallory and J.R Rain. 


                             BOOK BLURB



   Welcome to the Second Land, a battle-torn world of elves, sorcerers, and upheaval…

Elle Takra is a princess, the last heir to the Takra throne in a far-off place known as the Second Land. Having grown up in the First Land, Elle doesn’t know she’s a princess. All she does know is that she’s in love with a man named Simon and she intends to make Simon her husband, whether he agrees or not!

Elle’s best friend, Sasha, does know the truth—a truth she’s been keeping from Elle for the entirety of their friendship. Sasha isn’t the twenty-two-year-old she pretends to be. Instead, she’s an eighty-four-year-old Elf who acts as Elle’s protector and has from the moment Elle was born.

Sasha knows there are too many people in the Second Land who want Elle dead. She just isn’t sure who—something she’ll soon learn when Elle and Simon are kidnapped and forced to return to the Second Land.

But Elle and Simon aren’t the only ‘First Landers’ who find themselves stranded in a foreign place, surrounded by enemies. Enter Patch Keaton who washes up on unfriendly shores after a freak storm destroys his sailboat.

Lost, confused, and eager to return home, Patch’s destiny becomes intertwined with Elle’s in the most unfortunate of circumstances…


                      MY REVIEW 
    Elle growing up in First land , doesn't know she is the last heir to the Takra throne . She is a princess and doesn't remember anything except that she is in love with Simon . But instead of Simon coming to pick her up it was her friend Sasha who isn't what she appears to be . She is there to protect and keep them both safe . All they want to do is get home and they aren't the only one . Patch finds them and is entwined with them . Will they be able to figure out what is going on and hopefully stay safe and get the princess back to her home . 

  This is a laugh out loud read . The characters are so well written and complex . Elle is a sweet girl who just wants to marry Simon and live happily ever after . She is sweet, kind and just a little naive .  Sasha is more then meets the eye, she is strong and a friend for life . But she is also a warrior that is there to protect young Elle. She kind of stole the show for me .She took over and just won my heart . There are so many good characters in this story you will find one that you will love . 

  This is a fun, fast read, I love these two authors way of writing . They can write dark and light and funny. This is the light and funny side of them. There were times in this book where I actually snorted out loud .  The story is interesting and the characters are so much fun to read .  I can't wait to see where the authors take the characters . So if you want a laugh out loud read check it out.

GOOD MONDAY ALL

  Good afternoon all , hope your Monday is going well . Today I have a new author for you and her short fun read. Mellanie Szereto and her book MAKIN BACON ( The Homegrown Cafe book club book one )


                            BOOK BLURB



  The women of The Homegrown Café Book Club are over 40, single, and loving it. Fate, however, has a different plan with a younger man for every last one of them.

Divorcée Tate Madison wasted 15 years of her life with a liar and a cheat. Now she’s returned to her hometown to open The Homegrown Café, find a sperm donor, and spend time with her family and new friends. Encouraged by her fellow middle-aged book-club buddies, she begs a favor from her younger brother’s best friend - father the child her ex-husband denied her. Complications abound when she discovers she’s attracted to the man who wasn’t supposed to be more than an anonymous profile at the clinic. 

Pig farmer Jim Cochon knows all about in-vitro fertilization, but he’d rather do things the old-fashioned way with the irresistible redhead he’s wanted to marry since he was five. Too bad she refuses his proposal the morning after their attempt to make a baby. He’ll have to convince her second chances are worth taking when happily-ever-after is at stake.

                  MY REVIEW 
  When Tate comes home after a nasty divorce and opens a cafe. She meets the man of her dreams or the dreams of him being a sperm donor. When her book club friends encourage her to go after her brothers best friend . All things comical ensue . There are feelings old and new that arise . Will they be able to get through to the real feelings in their lives

  The characters are hilarious and well written. Tate is a middle aged woman that has had a rough marriage and she just wants a child to help her through . She is a fun loving woman who thinks she is weak but she is really strong . She is also kind of horrible person in the way she treats Jim after they sleep together . She really wasn't very nice to him at all . Jim is the sweet home town guy that every girl wants to fall in love with . He is tall , sexy and sweet  and he would do almost anything for you and take care of you . They are a cute couple together . I love the older woman younger man angle . 

 This is a fun, fast read that you can read in a couple of hours. The characters are fun and complex . The author takes us from flirting to hot and heavy in a matter of pages . This is the first book I have read from this author and found them enjoyable . The author has a way of making you laugh and actually snort a few times . I wish though it was just a little longer for the person in me that wants to see happily ever after . So if you want a fun fast read this is the book for you . I mean who can resist bacon not this girl .

GOOD SUNDAY ALL

  Good morning all , its a windy, sunny day here . Today I have a good mystery for your reading enjoyment .  GHOSTS AND SHADOWS ( book 4 in the Detective Cadillac Holland mystery series )


                             BOOK BLURB



  The oath Detective Cooter “Cadillac” Holland swore to defend his home against foreign and domestic enemies is put to the test when evil men from both sides of the border start a war on the eve of Mardi Gras, an election, and the first Super Bowl in Saints’ history. A shadowy government contractor has resurrected the blueprints for the classified operation that nearly got Detective Holland killed in Iraq, and doing so will threaten his life again. When Detective Holland’s friends and family are also put at risk, he is forced to call upon the skills and mind-set learned as a Special Forces and Intelligence operative to keep the peace between local heroin dealers and a violent Mexican drug cartel, outsmart a defense contractor, and take on a loose-cannon Federal official to avert a bloodbath when New Orleans can least afford it.


                     MY REVIEW 

    When detective Cooter ( Cadillac) Holland has sworn to uphold the law on home land and foreign soil. When he finds out there is a war brewing on both sides of the border . A shadow government is threatening his life yet again . He is forced to bring out his skills he learned from the special forces training and go after the ones starting the wars . Can New Orleans handle the onslaught that is about to happen or will it go down burning . 

  This story has some great characters to fall in love with .Cadillac Holland is a man who doesn't take no for an answer. He will do anything to keep his family and friends safe. We get to see him at his best and his worst as he fights the foes that are trying to take him down . He is trying to put the random things happening around him together . He is strong but also he is hiding something in his heart that is in his past . He is a great puzzle solver that will do what it takes to get the job done. We also get to meet his best friend  Tony who Cadillac knew form Iraq. They are such a good team Tony helps keep the criminals at bay . Together these two are a great pair that can do almost anything to stop the wars that are brewing .  There are so many other characters that you will fall in love with . 

   This is the first book of the series I have read from this author and I was pleasantly surprised. The characters are well written and complex and you can't help but caring for each and every one of them. The story is set in New Orleans which is a character all on its own . There is also a sup plot surrounding food . It plays a big part in this story .  This is a long book but you can read it in a weekend . I had a bit of trouble at the beginning but after about 4 chapters I was hooked and couldn't put it down . So if you want a really good mystery with some great odd ball characters check it out . I promise you will like it .

HAPPY SATURDAY ALL

  Good afternoon all today I have the second book in the PLANET SEEKERS series . TEAM TAORUTI  by Tonya Cannariato.


                             BOOK BLURB



    Going home is never easy, especially when you have uncontrolled new powers and an impossible mission assigned by a snarky planet.

A week ago, they were catapulting through space. Five days ago, they discovered the beauty of TaoRuti Three, answering the prayers of a beleaguered Earth. Three days ago, TR3 shoved them through an interplanetary wormhole to insure no further planetary rapists were deployed.

To say that Drs. Marina Spitzer and Leonardo Federici are under the gun might be an understatement.

Adding to the mess, they need to discover why Phoenix, Inc. has erased all record of their team’s triumphant departure a mere few years ago, and how a mysterious shadow cabal has gained overwhelming political power back on Earth. And there’s the uncomfortable, unstated deadline from the sentient planet TaoRuti Three hanging over their heads.

They both saw how deadly she was when she didn’t like what she was seeing, so the clock is ticking. Assistance from any corner would be helpful. Or would it?


                  MY REVIEW 
  When Dr Marina Spitzer and Dr. Leonardo Federici are pushed through and worm hole back to earth . Where they find her best friend Katje and also find the earth is wiping them from the face of the earth . Reporting that they have died . There is a cabal on earth that is taking over slowly . Rina nd Leo need to find out why they are trying to take over earth and try and figure out what is happening before its too late . .

I truly liked Rina and Leo in this book . Rina is such a strong woman and she is out to find out what is happening with the earth. She is smart and resilient . She cares deeply for all things nature .Underneath her tough exterior there beats a heart that is tender and caring . Leo is her rock and is a strong man . He will do almost anything to help Rina out he has a soft side . Katje is a fun character , we don't get a lot from her at first she is a scientist that is hidden away in an under the water paradise . But like all good characters there is more to her and when it happens it actually shocks everyone.

  This is a book that you can settle down and read in an evening . The characters are well written and complex and the story is a potent one of what can happen in today's world. The author has a way of writing that will have you hooked by the end of chapter one .  I really liked this addition to the series and i felt the story moved very fast and I was on the edge of my seat for most of it . It can be read as a stand alone but if you really want to get to know the characters check out book one . So check it out I promise you will not be disappointed .

WOOOHOOOOO WE MADE IT TO FRIDAY

  Good afternoon all lets have a wooooohooooooo that its Friday . Today I have a new series for you from Iuliana Foos . ADANYA TEBBET-THEUS AND THE DARK MASK (  A Family Legacy series book one)


                             BOOK BLURB 



   An overlord cursed to spend his days as a ruthless, emotionless beast of a man; a woman hell-bent on revenge; when these two meet, heaven and earth implode.

Driven by hatred and a thirst for revenge, Adanya wants nothing more than to kill the tyrant Overlord Xarrix, the beast behind the mask. Until he, the man she holds responsible for her parents’ deaths, blackmails her into marrying him.

From behind the safety of his mask, Xarrix has taken the galaxy hostage with his impressive armada, as well as enough secrets to bend anyone’s will. A prophecy reveals the beauty determined to end his life is the key to his hidden desire for peace--if he can conquer her heart.

When worlds and swords collide, Adanya and Xarrix are unprepared for hatred to turn into love. Crossing the line between enemies to lovers, proves to be a much higher price for the desired peace than either were prepared for. Only one question remains: can they find love and bring about peace before one of them dies?


                                 MY REVIEW
  Adanya is bent on revenge , she wants to kill the overlord Xarrix but he has other plans for her. He black mails her into marrying him . From the safety of his mask Xarrix has the whole galaxy scared of him . When a prophecy is foretold and the one that is suppose to kill him .Is his destiny and will bring peace to galaxy. Will they be able to find their way to each other or will one of them die before peace comes to them.


 This is a space aged retelling of a fairy tale . The characters are well written . Adanya well she is a strong woman who honestly is her own worst enemy sometimes . She is bent on revenge and nothing else .There is a sadness to her also that she can't hide. Xarrix is well he is not a nice man when we first meet him. There has been so much that went on in his life . He hides his scares behind a mask and really doesn't trust anyone . There is much more to him and we get to see him become a better man through out the book . We also get to meet some characters that well you really don't know if they are good or bad. They are such a fun couple to read and you will fall in love with them. 


  This is a fun read where you get the vibe of Beauty and the Beast . The author has a fun style of writing that will have you hooked by the third chapter . The characters are so much fun to read. Adanya is so bent on revenge you want to hug her and say everything is ok . The author did a great job with her and the other characters . This is read has it all revenge a mystery and romance yes it has romance .  So if you want a fun fantasy read check it out . You will have a great time reading it

WELCOME TO THURSDAY

  Good Thursday all, hope your Friday eve is going great. Today I have an new author and her book DEATH ISLAND  The Journey  by Kelsey Ketch 


                           BOOK BLURB 



 With her family name tainted by her great-grandfather’s crimes, Meriden Cummings could only dream of fleeing her oppressive life. Then she unearthed a piece of tanned skin, and her blood revealed an ancient map adorned with Mayan glyphs, launching her on the journey of a lifetime. However, she finds herself bound to the map, and there is a cost to her newfound freedom. One that will torment her mind as well as her soul.

After being shanghaied by pirates, Gregory Wilson escapes to a small English village where he runs into an obnoxious auburn-haired beauty. When he learns she is about to set sail on dangerous waters, he signs up to join her crew, hoping to defend her from the pirates seeking her great-grandfather’s treasure. But, will he be able to protect her from the ghost that haunts her or the curse running through her veins?


                     MY REVIEW 
     Meriden is living the life that she doesn't really want . All she wants to is work in her fathers shop and keep things going . Until the day a pirate ship attacks her sleepy town they are after her and the secrets they think she has . She has no idea what they are after until the day she finds the book that is bound to her by her blood . It is the adventure she is looking for . Along with the man who helped save her . Gregory Wilson is smitten with her and signs up to be beside her as they hunt for the treasure . Will he be able protect her from the ghosts of her past and the curse that is running in her veins 

  If you like pirate stories this is one for you to try. The characters are well written and complex. Meriden is a strong woman who is stuck in a life that she doesn't want to be part of . She has been an outsider her whole life only wanting to apprentice in her dads shop. Until the day it all changes and she goes off on an adventure that makes her realize that there is more to her and her life then the man that broke her heart and the father that died on a sea journey . Gregory well he is in my opinion a mess . He has been held captive and almost killed a few times . He is tortured and you really feel for him . He also has anger issues but when he knows in his heart that he will do anything to protect the one that he found and helped after an attack . They are surrounded by good men and men that want nothing more then string them both up . A typical pirate ship . 

   This is a story is such a fun read, I sat down and read it in an evening . The characters are well written and complex . The story is fun and come from the two points of view Meriden and Greg . You get to see whatever goes on in their eyes .  There is a lot of mythology that is in the book which adds a depth to the story . There were moments in the book where I really wanted to slap both Meriden and Greg upside the heads because they were both being really stubborn, but with any good character that too passes . This is a story that can be read in an evening and it has a mystery and intrigue and a little promise or romance . So if you want a fun book that you can read in an evening with a cliff hanger .Check it out .

HAPPY ST PATRICKS DAY ALL

  Good morning all hope you are all having a great day . Today I have a new author to me, let me introduce you to Pam Funke and her book  THE RISE OF NICOLAITANES (The Apocalypse book 1)


                            BOOK BLURB 



 Deception. Political Corruption. Faith.

In a post-apocalyptic world, where every new day fulfills another prophecy from the book of Revelation, Serenity Lambert must choose a path. Will she go along with the majority or stand up for that which is good? A voice tells her to join a covert group in a military op, despite her better judgment, she agrees. She should have known better though, right? There's no way you would be so gullible as to fall for the wiles of The Voice or would you? There's no way you would never fall for the lies of someone or something so evil, right? Well, Serenity didn't think she would either. Life as she knows it is about to change forever. If she can't get out, her life will be in danger. But is that more important than losing one's soul?

A mysterious voice suggests to General Alexander Ludlow that a military op would bring an end to the world's evil. Things must get worse before they can get better. Isn't that the way of the world? Feeling overwhelmed by the loss of so many of his troops over the years, Alexander enacts Operation Dark Angel. Once he is onboard, the voice gathers together a most unusual group of people to ensure Operation Dark Angel's success. What role will it play in bringing about the rise of Nicolaitanes Balac?


                     MY REVIEW
  It all starts with a voice to a young girl that really sets the world on its last days. When a child is born to bring on the end of times. Serenity is hears the voice and joins a covert group and is is out to find the evil . When the same voice suggests to General Ludlow that this war will stop the evil. The operation Dark Angel will bring on the rise NIcolaitane Balac.

  This book is full of characters that are very well written and complex . Nicolaitane is well I believe that he is the anti Christ that is coming . He is such a charismatic man who has risen to power . You can't help but like him .  There are so many great characters that will have you flipping pages.

  This is a long book but it doesn't seem like it as you start . the characters are well written and the story well written . This is a Christian telling of the story of revelations . This has a the vibe the stand going on , the good versus evil . I will tell you that it did take me a bit to get into the story but as soon as I got into the story it flew by . This book will have you asking the all important questions about God and the world. With the world the way it is right now and what is happening hits too close to home. This is an author that I am going to check out . So if you want a new retelling of the end of days this is the book for you , so check it out.

ITS MONDAY ALL

    Good morning all welcome to Monday and I have another new series by my two favourite authors . HELL ON EARTH ( Chasing Demons book one ) by Hp Mallory and JR Rain. 


                          BOOK BLURB



 What if you were the only person standing between a demon and the destruction of the largest city in the United States

Graham Kincaid was an angel.

But, after he broke one of Heaven’s rules, he was kicked out and found himself on earth, acting as Heaven’s emissary.

His task? To chase down rotten souls escaped from Hell.

Graham has been hunting such souls for centuries, and he’s the best at what he does. But his newest job isn’t quite so cut and dry…

This time, instead of pursuing a runaway human soul, Graham is after an escaped demon—one that’s out for blood.

Kraven isn’t just any demon—not only is he one of the most powerful, but he also has aspirations for greatness. Kraven intends to open a portal in the middle of New York City in order to create a literal hell on earth—one he’ll be ruling.

Obviously, Graham can’t let that happen.

And when Kraven starts targeting a human woman to whom Graham finds himself inexplicably attracted, the case becomes personal.

Soon, it becomes a race against time as Graham not only has to locate Kraven in a city of over eight million, but he’ll also have to stop the demon from enacting a ritual that will destroy the city and all its inhabitants…


                     MY REVIEW 
    Graham is an angel that has fallen from grace and sent to Earth to fight the demons . When he decided to stop a woman from being hurt and walks her home , he is smitten with her sister.  When he finds out that he has to find the demon Kraven and dispatch him . Kraven is closer then he thinks when Kraven starts to target the woman that Graham has feeling for . Will Graham be able to keep everyone safe and send Kraven back to the depths of hell. 

  The characters in this first book are very well written.  Graham is a no nonsense guy who sticks to the books as he is trying to catch demons on earth. Oh I didn't tell you yes Graham is a Angel who has fallen to Earth for something he did in heaven so many years ago. He is the strong silent type that just wants to hopefully earn his wings back . There is a sadness in him that you can feel but as you go through the book you see him grow and become such a strong man . Sierra is the one woman that sparked his attention if forever . She is strong willed and sassy along with her son they become more to Graham that he needs to protect for the Kraven. They are such great characters you will love them from the very start

 This is a book you can read in a weekend , the authors do pack a lot into this read . We really get to know the main character and what he has gone through .  This really isn't a light fun read but once you get into the story you will be in love with Graham. He is complex and you really don't get a read on him at first. I can't wait to see where the authors are going to take these characters . I actually really like them and the story is a bitter sweet story that will have you wanting to hug and tell them that everything will be ok . I really want to see if Sierra and Graham will have a relationship . So if you want a new series that is a fast read for the weekend check it out .

GOOD MORNING ALL

   Good morning everyone , hope your Wednesday finds you well and reading up a storm . Today I have for you  book 8 in The Mists of Mayhem and Magic series . WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME  by Hp Mallory . 


                            BOOK BLURB 



  Episode 8: Wrong Place, Wrong Time

                    MY REVIEW 
  Jolie and the gang are almost out of the abyss and feeling are coming out . Bryn and Sinjin are starting to reconnect and Jolie is torn between two men. Emma and Stone are falling for each other more even when the enemy is chasing them back down the mountain .  Will everyone survive to finally see each other again

   There is so much that goes on in this installment. Jolie and Bryn are fighting to get free. They are fighting hard to come out of the Abyss . I will say the characters are just getting better . Emma is finally coming into her power and Stone is falling in love with her hard .  Rand is stuck in his own mess that he is finding harder and harder to get out of . I love reading Bryn and Sinjin fight the feelings they have for each other . They know they belong together but there is so much hurt between them . I love how the author is taking these characters and bringing them to their mutual enemy with their own ways of getting there. 

   This is a great installment of the series and it is a fast read. There is a lot going on in this installment we find out the reason why Jolie was held in the abyss for those ten years . We get to see love start to bloom between Emma and Stone.  The author really can tell a story with these character and we get to see them grow with each new installment. I can't wait to see what happens next with these characters . If you want a great series to read check them out you will love them .

HAPPY RELEASE WEEK TO PAM GODWIN

 Good morning everyone , I hope that you all had a great weekend. I have the last book in a great series by Pam Godwin. COMPLICATE  book 9 in the Deliver series.


                             BOOK BLURB



 The heart-pounding conclusion of the dark and dangerous DELIVER series.

 Cole Hartman is a mystery. He works alone, sleeps alone, and satisfies his aches…alone. He hasn’t touched a woman in seven years. No one will ever compare to the one who broke his heart. Until he stares into the seductive eyes of his enemy. He finally meets his match in the redheaded Russian spy. But she’s a dangerous risk. His obsession with her leaves him only one choice. If you love something, let it go. If it doesn’t kill you, hunt it down and take it.


                         MY REVIEW

    When Cole Hartman is found out by a group of people that want information from him. He was captured by a group that want something from him and will do anything to get it. Enter Lydia the woman who is going to get the information out of Cole one way or another . She really isn't the person Cole thinks she is . She becomes his obsession and he will do anything to find her and make her his . 

  Oh my this book gave me all the feels trust me , this is the book I have been waiting for . Cole has been a big part of the later books in this series and he has always been mysterious . He is a loner  who has been hurt in the past . He is oh so alpha , sexy as sin but also been hurt I think sometimes beyond repair . Lydia well at first you just kind a want to slap her over and over . There are things that she does that are well not good . She is good at hiding her emotions to do what she has to do . Underneath the façade there is a woman who has been hurt and wants revenge. They are such a great couple and when they  are together they are dynamite . 

  This was a bitter sweet read for me . I have really loved the characters in this series and actually this series is the first series I have read from this author . I tried to read this book slowly but I just couldn't the author really put me through the ringer . The characters are so well written and complex you just really want to figure them out . I was on the edge of my seat most of the time while reading this book . Other times I was laughing and then there were times where it was hot, hot , hot . I am sad that this series is over but also very happy that the everyone finally got their HEA'S . If you like dark stories with characters that you can't help but love check out the DELIVER series .

GOOD SATURDAY ALL

 Good Saturday everyone , its the weekend and a beautiful weekend it is . Today I have a new book for you by Kat Green . SURVIVING THE GAME . 


                            BOOK BLURB



 The cold steel of the blade burned her skin, and sweat beaded on her forehead. Cold, piercing eyes stared down at her from underneath the rim of the black cap. One wrong move from either of them, and blood would spill.

Zara Rose was the luckiest girl in the world! Landing the job working for Valcoast United Football Club was a dream come true. Growing up, the family never missed a match, and now she could see the team every day.

She was happy…

Jake Maddox had it all: star striker for Valcoast United, any girl he wanted, plenty of money, and natural good looks. He had pushed himself hard his entire life with a goal of making it in professional football, and now he was living his dream.

He was not happy…

The entire city is counting on their team to stay in the premier league, and the stakes were high… high enough to kill. As the last game of the season kicked off, win or lose, someone wouldn’t survive the game!


                         MY REVIEW 
 Zara has a great job working for the team that she loves since she was a kid . Working for the Valcoast United was like a dream come true for her . Until the night she was out with her best friend and helped Jake Maddox the all star striker for the tree . She helped get him home after finding him drunk at a club . From there they forge a friendship, Zara become his lucky charm and he became her best friend . Zara knows there is something going on that Jake won't talk about but they never knew what was going to happen . Will Zara be able to keep herself and Jake alive and will Valcoast win the championship .
