WELCOME TO THURSDAY

   Welcome to Thursday all , today we are going to review EMMA AND THE BANDER WIGH by Mathew Cox.

                            BOOK BLURB

   

Ten-year-old Emma doesn’t believe in faerie tales or monsters that secret children away in the night—until she meets one.

She lives in a quiet village at the edge of Widowswood with her parents, her Nan, and her little brother, Tam. Ready to abandon the whimsy of childhood, she finds the boredom of chores comforting and Nan’s fanciful bedtime stories silly.

One morning, a wan and weary older girl staggers out of the woods and sets the entire town aflutter with whispers of a child-stealing monster lurking in the forest. Nan tells her of the Banderwigh: a dark soul who feeds on sorrow and drains the life from children’s tears.

Darkness comes calling on Emma’s happy home, threatening the reality to which she desperately clings. The impossible becomes more and more real, forcing Emma to reach inside herself for the ability to believe. Her family depends on it.

                          MY REVIEW 

  

       What do you do when you are only ten and don't believe in fairy tales that is what is happening to Emma . She lives with her family outside the small village. and one day a  young girl comes out of the woods talking of a child stealing monster lurking monster . When the darkness comes calling what is Emma to do . She needs to reach deep inside herself to save her family , 

      I really like the characters in this story, Emma is a sweet character trying to grow up . But you see her grow up and become more . She is strong and sweet and really wants to help others . She is a great problem solver for others  and really likes to help . Nan is a fun character too she tries to keep Emma from growing up too fast and her stories 

  The author takes us on epic fantasy journey that anyone from middle grade to adults . The story is well written and the characters are complex.  This is a story of growing up and becoming more then just a child . The story starts a little slow but with all the twists and turns the author takes us on an epic adventure .  I truly love this authors way of writing and the stories he tells . This would be a great series for a snowy night by the fire . Both adults and kids would love it . Check it out

GOOD TUESDAY ALL

 Good Tuesday all , today we are going to review a new author to me Sarah Fine and her book MARKED (Servants of Fate book one )

                             BOOK BLURB

In a broken landscape carved by environmental collapse, Boston paramedic Cacia Ferry risks life and limb on the front lines of a fragile and dangerous city. What most don’t know—including her sexy new partner, Eli Margolis—is that while Cacy works to save lives, she has another job ferrying the dead to the Afterlife. Once humans are “Marked” by Fate, the powerful Ferrys are called to escort the vulnerable souls to either eternal bliss or unending fire and pain.

Unaware of Cacy’s other life, Eli finds himself as mesmerized by his fierce and beautiful partner as he is mistrustful of the influential Ferry clan led by the Charon—who happens to be Cacy’s father. Cacy, in turn, can no longer deny her intense attraction to the mysterious ex-Ranger with a haunted past. But just as their relationship heats up, an apparent hit takes the Charon before his time. Shaken to the core, Cacy pursues the rogue element who has seized the reins of Fate, only to discover that Eli has a devastating secret of his own. Not knowing whom to trust, what will Cacy have to sacrifice to protect Eli—and to make sure humanity’s future is secure?

                       MY REVIEW 

  What would you do if you are living in the world after an environmental collapse . If you are Boston paramedic Cacia Ferry you work to save the precious few that need it and ferry the dead to the afterlife . Yes she is a grim reaper and part of the powerful Ferry family . She has a new partner in sexy Eli Margolis . As they work together they find out they are attracted to each other and want to know more . But when he father is taken before his time . Sets Cacy and Eli on a collision course with a rogue element and what will the sacrifice to keep humanity safe.
 This is the first novel I have read and I must say the characters are very intriguing and well written . Cacy is one of those characters that is strong and yet sensitive at the same time. She is tough as tough can be as an ex ranger and paramedic . She has to be for what she does she is tough but her family is still treating her like the little sister . I truly liked her as a character the only draw back is that we didn't get to seem much of her back ground .  Eli is hot and sexy and just as strong as Cacy there are things about him that we don't know and hope to find out. He is the type of guy who would be there for you when you need it . There are some evil characters that keep coming after them .  They are constantly on the run . 
  The author takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions . There are some great twists and turns that will keep you reading , There is romance in the book the author builds on it slowly . At first it is all about jumping each others bones .  There is only one little thing that bothers me that we don't get a lot of their back ground on them . Other then the awkwardness of the build up to sex it was a great story . I like the premiss and the story read good . I got sucked in and started caring for Cacy and Eli . So if you want a good story for a winter evening that is a fun read . This is the book for you check it out

   

WOW IT S THURSDAY

Welcome to Thursday all , today I have a very emotional book for your weekend . Be prepared for heartbreak with NEVER BE ALONE by Paige Dearth 

                           BOOK BLURB 

 Young Joon's parents died, her foster family is dangerous, homelessness is her only option.

Joon had a good life with her parents--she was loved and cared for the way all eight-year-olds should be. Then, one horrible day, her parents died, and she was put into the foster care system.

When Joon is placed with a single mother, Aron, and her two sons, nothing could have prepared her for the cruelty and brutality she would be subjected to over the next four years. When things escalate and her foster brother Deen threatens her, Joon takes to the streets to escape the viciousness of her foster family and start her life over.

On the streets, Joon finally finds comfort with a group of homeless teenagers. But things are never what they seem, and there is always a price to pay for safety on the streets. NEVER BE ALONE is a story of homelessness but hopefulness, as Joon's relentless determination eventually helps her find her place in the world and make a difference. 

                            MY REVIEW 

    This book is intense and heartbreaking . Joon had a great life with her parents until the day they are killed and she is left an orphan .  When she is put in foster care and sent to live with a single mother and her two sons , Poor Joon isn't ready for what will happen to her living with these people . The abuse they do her . When she is at her lowest and after Dean the son threatens her . She does the unthinkable and takes to the street to live . Where she finds a group of friends that will help her and keep her safe . But there is one rule on the street NEVER BE ALONE  and there is always a price to pay . Will Joon find her place in the world to be happy and safe. 

   This story will break your heart trust me on that one . The characters are so well written and you will want to wrap Joon up in a warm blanket and hug her tight . She is a tough cookie but she wasn't always that way . At first she could come off as a little naïve but she grows up fast . She is a fighter and doesn't let anything or anyone get in her way . She wants to be somewhere safe and secure  where no one would hurt her ever again There are many people that come into Joon's life that help her in ways that keep her safe . Tony and Vincent make an appearance in this book and they help Joon out a lot.  

   This is a gritty story that will rip out your heart more times then you can count . There are so many twists and turns through out this book . What I truly liked about this story is that is so true and current to what is going on in the world right now This book isn't for the faint of heart . You will cry and your heart will shatter over and over again . I admit I actually had to put the book down a couple of times because my heart just couldn't take it . Like all the authors works the characters are driven to be better and want to do better . So if you want to have your heart ripped out and then have it repaired . This is the book for you . ITS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART THOUGH .

SECRETS – Web of Sin book 1

The twisted and intriguing storytelling that you loved in Consequences and Infidelity is coming back at you with an all-new alpha anti-hero in the dark romance series Web of Sin, by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

I’m Sterling Sparrow. You’ve no doubt heard my name or read it on the top of tall buildings. There’s more to my business—my realm—than what is seen aboveground.

Within the underbelly of one of America’s largest cities lives a world where a man’s word is either his most valuable tool or his most respected weapon. When my father ruled that world and that city, he promised me someone who would one day make my reign complete.

Since that day, long ago, Araneae McCrie has been mine.

She just didn’t know.

My father is now gone.

The city and the underbelly are now mine.

The time has come for me to collect who was promised to me, to shred her life of secrets and make her who she’s always been—mine.

Have you been Aleatha’d?

*Secrets is book one of the Web of Sin trilogy.

                         MY REVIEW 

  What do you do when you are whisked away from your family when you are a young girl and told never to come back to Chicago. That is what happened to Areneae McCrie . When she was whisked away with a new identity  Now a successful business woman in Boulder Colorado . She is part owner of Silken Threads with her best friend . When there are things happening in Chicago and Areneae aka Kennedy has to head their to figure out why product is missing . She is brought back to her past and the sexy strange man that says she is his . What is a girl to do when he takes control of her life with a promise of her past and a part of his future . Will she survive or be his downfall 

     Let me introduce you to Sterling Sparrow. He is tall , controlling and oh so sexy . He is the heir to a mass fortune but there is a dark side to him . He has been through so much from an over bearing father to time in the army . He is now the head of Sparrow enterprises and in complete control. Ladies trust me he will make your heart speed up . But you know with this author , there is always more to her characters then meets the eye . That is also true for Sterling and you will love and hate him at the same time . 

Areneae aka Kennedy is well she isn't naïve but she is a little not really worldly. She has been through so much in her life . Being yanked away from her family and given a new identity . At the beginning you just want to wrap her up in a warm blanket and keep her safe . But you see her start to grow and get sassy with Sterling . Just like all her characters she is stronger then she then she lets on .  I truly like theses characters . They are great one on one but together they will be unstoppable  

   This is the first book in a brand new series for this author . She really can write dark romance . I was hooked by the end of chapter one . Besides a smoldering sexy couple . There is mystery and intrigue as we piece together their history .  I couldn't put it down , I had tears in my eyes a few times and had to fan myself a lot of the time .  I must say I love Aleatha's dark side , she puts the alpha in men . I truly enjoyed this first book in the new series . Yes it did end in a cliff hanger but that's ok I know she won't keep us waiting too long . So if you want a sexy new series that will keep you hanging on every word . This is the book series for you . First book coming out on October 30
