WELCOME TO FRIDAY

 Woohooo its Friday , and I am glad it is the start of weekend . To start of the weekend right we have a cool series for you to read . I am really starting to like this author and his writing . DIVISION ZERO  by Matthew S Cox.

                            BOOK BLURB 

 

Most cops get to deal with living criminals, but Agent Kirsten Wren isn’t most cops.

A gifted psionic with a troubled past, she possesses a rare combination of abilities that makes her a powerful weapon against paranormal threats. Adrift in a society that fears people like her, she feels alone in a city of millions.

In 2418, rampant violence and corporate warfare have left no shortage of angry wraiths. Most are little more than fleeting shadows or eerie whispers in the darkness, but every so often, one gathers enough strength to threaten the living.

A series of attacks by androids known as dolls leave the normal police baffled. Unable to explain what made the machines malfunction, they punt the case to Division 0. Kirsten’s investigation into who – or what – is behind the random murders soon makes her a target for corporate assassins.

Despite her past, and the cynical city around her, she clings to the belief that no one is beyond redemption. Alas, the killer is desperate to claim as many innocent souls as possible, and one might just be hers.

                     MY REVIEW 

  Welcome to the future 2418 where being a police officer means that you are trying to keep the rampant violence down . But if you are also a police officer that is also a psionic you will be battling the ghosts . Meet Kristen Wren a young psionic and police officer . She has a talent to track and kill ghosts .. When a series of attacks puts Kristen on the case . She is now in the cross hairs for corporate assassins and a vengeful ghost . Will she survive to close the case or will she become one of the killers victims . 

  I truly fell in love with the main character Kristen , you really feel for her . She has been through hell and back with her family . Even in the big city she feels alone and actually kind of scared. Her special powers have her chasing ghosts and she well doesn't like it . She has so many feelings and sometimes she is scared . You just want to wrap her up in a blanket and hug her tight .  As you read her though she really does become a strong character and she really does come into her own . With her best friend Nicole and Dorian keep her grounded and help her figure everything out . Oh and there is something special about Dorian that kind of made me go wow . 

  This book is a mix of sci fi and paranormal . Which the author mixes quite well. The characters are very well written and complex . You really feel for them and want to care for them . The author has a way with words and can really paint a picture .But there were just a couple of times I felt like I needed to look up a couple of words . other then that this story had me sucked in by the second chapter . This book so has a blade runner / ghost buster vibe . Its dark and gritty with some comic relief . You will get sucked in  and want to figure out what the heck is happening along with the rest of us . So add this book to you fall reading list . You will not be disappointed

GOOD THURSDAY ALL

 Good Thursday or what I like to say happy Friday Eve all . Today we are going to review a new genre to me Steampunk Westerns . TREASURE DARKLY by Jordan Elizabeth

                           BOOK BLURB 

Seventeen-year-old Clark Treasure assumes the drink he stole off the captain is absinthe… until the chemicals in the liquid give him the ability to awaken the dead.

A great invention for creating perfect soldiers, yes, but Clark wants to live as a miner, not a slave to the army—or the deceased. On the run, Clark turns to his estranged, mining tycoon father for help. The Treasures welcome Clark with open arms, so he jumps at the chance to help them protect their ranch against Senator Horan, a man who hates anyone more powerful than he.

Sixteen-year-old Amethyst Treasure loathes the idea of spending the summer away from her bustling city life to rot on her father’s ranch, but when a handsome young man shows up claiming to be her secret half-brother, her curiosity is piqued. He’s clever, street smart, and has no qualms jumping into the brawl between the Treasures and Horans. Caught in the middle, Horan kidnaps Amethyst, and all she gets is this lousy bullet through her heart.

When Clark brings her back to life, however, the real action starts, and Amethyst joins him in his fight against the Horan clan—whatever the cost. Defeating the Horans may seem easy at first, but going up against men with the same fighting vengeance as Clark, and a Senator with power he’s obtained by brainwashing the masses?

Well, Amethyst’s boring summer at home has turned into an adventure on the run, chock full of intrigue, danger, love, and a mysterious boy named Clark.

                         MY REVIEW

     This was an intriguing read and a new sub genre for me . Clark had a hard life and when he drinks something he thought was absinthe , his life gets turned upside down and he is wanted by the army . Because he can raise the dead and they want to use him to build the ultimate army . When he heads West to the Treasure ranch . Where they take him in as part of the family when he shows the letter and picture .  Where he meets Amethyst the daughter. She is smitten with Clark and wants to know more about him . When she gets kidnapped and shot Clark brings her back to life . Now the adventure begins and will they survive the danger . 

   The characters in this book had me in a tizzy. Clark is a sweet boy that has been through so much . He grew up to be a strong independent man who is on the run . Sometimes he comes of shy and quiet but he is always thinking and trying to figure things out . Always looking over his shoulder to see if the army is on his heels . Now Amethyst to me is a spoiled little brat that honestly needs to be turned over a knee and spanked hard. She really kind of grated on my nerves . She whined and tried to guilt people into doing things for her . I just really couldn't like her through most of the book . She did start to redeem herself towards the end . After she got shot she seemed to grow up just a little . They were a cute couple when they were together and they really shined when they were doing their missions for someone . Not going to spoil it for you by telling you what they were doing . 

   The book is a good read . It started of with a great steam punk elements . It was dark and gritty and had a great western feel to it . But then it seemed the author kind of switched it up to a bodice ripper type of western . The main characters just seemed they couldn't keep they hands off each other. It kind of took away from the story for me .  There were spots that seemed to lag a bit for me also . Over all I did enjoy this story and really want to see where the author will take the characters. I believe that she has a great idea and her characters have great potential will read more from this author . So if you want a good story with some grit , intrigue and insta love this is a good book for you ,

GOOD WEDNESDAY

Well its is Wednesday aka hump day . Hope everyone is surviving the week and the winding down of summer . Today we are going to review M Robinson's new book LOST BOY  and ladies you are really going to love the cover of this book trust me.


                            BOOK BLURB 

From USA Bestselling Author M. Robinson comes this standalone contemporary romance full of feels and angst...

In a world where I had no say, violence became my refuge, and nothing else mattered.
Not even my own life.
Until her.
Skyler Bell.
It all started the first time I heard that voice. Giving me hope for tomorrow. My first love was everything all at once.
Consuming.
Maddening.
Forever.
Mine.
Except, I never imagined there were secrets that needed to be shared. Lies that needed to be confessed. Truths that needed to be told.
Demons that needed to be buried.
Once I realized the depth, the longing, the sadness and sorrow in her eyes mirrored mine, it was too late. Love didn't come to me as heartbreak, it came as everything I've ever wanted. Walking away wasn't an option, but it was the only choice I had.
I finally found the price of love and it cost me...
My soul.

                 MY REVIEW 

    I kind of did a happy dance when I found out that Noah Jamison was getting his own story . When we first met him in ROAD TO NOWHERE. He was young and kind of cocky then but he was also a little naïve .  He grew up in violence and the unyielding father who only knew how to hit to get his point across . Then one day everything changed when he heard an angel singing in the river . That's when his life changed and she became his saving grace but also a demon that haunts him . Skye Bell ,a young actress who is attracted to the rough sexy biker. But she has demons of her own that keeps them from getting together . They keep coming together but will their demons keep them apart or will they be able to exercise those demons to be with the each other . 

   The characters in this are so well written and very complex . There are times you just want to wrap them up and hug them tight . They both are such strong characters . Noah there are moments you want to just hug him and tell him everything will be ok . When he is helping his mother you really see him as a sweet lovable kid . Just trying to help out the one person who loved him. Then we see his other side where he is just full of anger and is taking it out on anyone that gets in his way . He is such a tortured man and we can feel his pain . Now Skye well what can we say about Skye . She seems like she has two personalities . We have the sweet Skye that loves just to be and then we have the Skye that is on for her fans and the media . She is a sweet woman but sometimes she comes off as naïve and you just want to give her a shake . Then when you see her other side you just want to hug her and tell her everything will be ok . Then you really want to slap her for the way she treats Noah. There were times she wasn't really nice to him . But like I said they both have their demons that will either heal them or destroy them . There are characters in this book you really just want to hate so badly Keith is that character , he has used and abused Skye from the first moment he became her manager . You really just want to stab Keith over and over . Trust me on this one 

  The author takes us on a very emotional roller coaster ride . There are some scenes in this book that aren't for the faint of heart . There is alcoholism , rape, drugs and more . But the author will rip out your heart and then repair it . This is a stand alone but if you want to know more about Noah read ROAD TO NOWHERE also. You will get sucked in from the first page . Be prepared for a book that will have you screaming at your kindle over and over . You will be ping ponging between the love they share and the demons that pull them apart. This is book of first love and last love and all the stuff that goes on in between . So if you want to have a book that will rip out your heart over and over and then have it sewn back together . This is the book for you . Add this one to your fall reading list  I promise this book will not disappoint you .

WELCOME TO THE WEEKEND

 Welcome to Friday all . I hope that everyone is having a good day . Today we are going to review Denise Grover Swank's new book written under D.G Swank . Lets check out OF ASH AND SPIRIT  .

                            BOOK BLURB 

   

The first book in a Curse Keepers spinoff series by New York Times bestselling author Denise Grover Swank writing as D.G. Swank.

Who's afraid of ghosts? Not Piper Lancaster, because even though she's a ghost whisperer, she's a skeptic. Piper helps her clients settle their inner demons, and that's good enough for her-even if ghosts aren't real.

That is until the astonishing reappearance of the ruins of the Lost Colony of Roanoke turns her world upside down. Now belief in the supernatural is at an all-time high, and people are seeing ghosts in every shadow.

There's one problem-the reemergence of the Lost Colony has awakened both the supernatural world and Piper's very real talent as a medium. The first time she actually sees a ghost, she thinks it's a hallucination, a joke, anything but what it really is.

But she's soon confronted with evidence she can't deny. Ghosts exist, and worse, so do demons. As if that weren't enough, Asheville has a new resident demon that's intent on killing her, and a sinfully handsome stranger who says she's the only one who can destroy it.

Barely able to accept the complete reversal in her convictions, Piper must discover-and embrace-her true identity before it's too late.

                           MY REVIEW 

     This is the first book in a new series and a spin off of the CURSE KEEPERS  series . Which I loved and this series is no exception . Meet Piper Lancaster and her friends . She is a ghost hunter but also a skeptic . Until the day the colony of Roanoke reappears and demons start walking the earth and ghosts start showing up warning Piper . With time running out for her to find some daggers her father told her to find before her 25 birthday . Demons out to destroy her . A secret organization that is wanting her . Will she survive to learn the ways she is suppose to survive . With the help of her friends she will figure it all out . 

   I really like Piper , she is the perfect mixture of vulnerable and kick butt heroine . She has gone through so much in her young life . Watching her parents being murdered at the age of ten and living with her grandmother . Has molded her in a way that makes her strong but also very naïve .The cast of characters that help and well also hinder Piper are vast and diverse . Abel we really don't know what he is and well hunky Jack the priest is just too cute to be a priest . At one moment you think well Jack is the one that is going to hurt Piper and then in the next breath you are screaming that Abel doesn't have Piper's interest at heart. Trust me you will want to hug and stab both men through out the book . 

  I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book as soon as I heard it was being written . I loved the first series and I so wanted to see where the author was taking it .This story will have you on the edge of your seat most of the time . It does start off a little slow but does pick up and then you are on a roller coaster ride where you are hanging on for dear life . I love the fact that the author actually mixes the mystery of the lost colony of Roanoke and a great urban fantasy . You can read this series without reading the original series and still know what is going on . This book will keep you reading well past your bed time . What is great about this book is that your daughters can read it right along with you . They will love it too , So if you want a good read check it out You will not be disappointed .
