                                      BOOK BLURB 

 Abducted and taken to a remote cabin in Alaska, Frankie finds herself at the mercy of four feral men, each with his own dark secrets and twisted desires.

With nowhere to run, she must rely on her wits to survive the harsh winter, trapped with them.

As she delves into their mysterious pasts, she uncovers an insidious evil that feeds on loyalty and uses love as a weapon.

Nothing is as it seems.

In this desolate world where the monsters are as beautiful as they are cruel, trust is elusive. They torment her, protect her, and keep her in the dark.

But to have any chance of escape, they must stand together.

Or fall prey to the evil in the hills of shivers and shadows.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR



New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, cats, retired greyhounds, and an old, foul-mouthed parrot. She traveled the world for seven years, attended three universities, married the vocalist of her favorite rock band, and retired from her quantitative analyst career in 2014 to write full-time.


Her interests veer toward the unconventional: bourbon, full-body tattoos, and tragic villains. Equally peculiar are her aversions to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

ITS HUMP DAY AND A GREAT DAY FOR READING

                          BOOK BLURB



    London, 1880

PHILIPPA:
There is something very strange about the new carnival that appeared in London and only opens its doors at night.
Furthermore, patrons are beginning to complain that a certain show within the carnival, The Wishing Well, does certainly grant their wishes, but also leaves them with more than they bargained for.
It sounds like just the investigation for Spencer and me and Spencer’s new detective agency, Spencer Brothers.
But when Grant is also involved in his own investigation of the carnival—one which turns personal—I worry he’s in over his head.

GRANT:
I don’t believe the reports coming in pertaining to The Shadow Carnival—a place that appears to be sinister but I’m fairly certain it’s just a con-man operating a sham.
But it gives me the opportunity to work side by side with the woman of my affections, Philippa.
Yes, I know I should unburden my heart—tell her how I feel. But I’m afraid she doesn’t return my feelings and that is a situation I sorely don’t wish to face.
Not to mention that reprobate, William Spencer, is always lurking in the distance.
Soon the truth will come out though—of that I’m certain. And when it does, I can only hope I’m fully prepared…


                     MY REVIEW 
 Philippa, Grant and William are back in the last installment of the series. They are trying to figure out where they are after Philippa comes back from a harrowing experience. A new carnival pops up in town . There are reports of The Shadow Carnival and the sinister things that are coming out of the carnival. There is more to this carnival then meets the eyes . Until the day tragedy happens and Philippa must come to terms and follow her heart to a happy every after . 

 They are back and better then ever. We get to see Philippa in a more self realizing state of mind. We see her coming to terms with her feelings and what is good for her and the men in her life. Grant well he is still an upstanding inspector but there is a little more to him and what happens is kind of amazing when he ends up hurt . We get to see a softer side to both of them. William is well he is the best friend a girl could have but he is also a cad and a big ole tease.. These characters have really grown and become beloved to me.  The author really captured them in a way that you could not help but care for them. 
  
  This is the last book in the series and I was sad that it was ending but so happy that we will be able to see if they get their hea's which I was really hoping they would . The characters are so well written and complex and the story is so much fun to read. I couldn't put it down and tried to read it slowly cause I didn't want it to end. Check out this series , you will laugh and cry in a few spots . This series should be added to your spring reading list .

GOOD MONDAY MORNING

  Good morning my peeps, I am back after a self imposed reading break. Today I have for you a new author for me Tasha Creed and the first book in The Dark Enchantment series  RED 


                      BOOK BLURB



 In the small village of the Dark Moon pack, death is a common occurrence. Rumors swirl around a cursed beast who lives in the woods surrounding the pack lands. No one dares to enter them, except for the granddaughter of the old alpha.

Lillian is an outcast and her only safe haven is when she is at her grandmother’s cottage. As she cares for her, she realizes her mysterious connection to the beast haunting the woods and makes the startling discovery that she has a choice to make.

Choose her destiny as his mate and break his curse, or save the pack?

"Who's afraid of the big bad wolf? Surely not I."


                     MY REVIEW 
   Lilian is an outcast in her pack, she always feels like she doesn't belong. She is treated like nothing but a slave to the alpha and his obnoxious son. The only place she feels at ease is at her grandmother's house but when she realizes there is a beast in the woods has a connection with her. When things go from bad to worse Lilian needs to make a choice and choose her destiny break the curse of the beast or save the pack. Will she be able to be strong enough to make the choice .

  Ok the characters in this story are well they are well written . Lilian to me is a very submissive woman, sometimes just a little too much. She seems so naive through out the start of this book.  When push comes to shove though we really see Lilian grow and become what she is destined to be. Corbin is one of those characters that most of the time you really just want to wring his neck. He comes of as an arrogant man who is just mean to those under him. He does have his nice points but they always come with a price. The bid bad wolf is the one character that you will love from the moment you meet him. He is such a tortured soul and as the story goes we find out more about him and why he is cursed . You truly want to help him and save him through out the story,

 This is a retelling of Little Red Riding hood and it is pretty good . The characters are well written and I can't wait to see how they develop. The story has good versus evil but really do we know who the evil actually is. The twists are so much fun to follow and there are a few of them through out the book . Over all I really enjoyed the story but I just felt the beginning of the story was a little slow but it did pick up and then it kind of took off and the twist at the ending was great. Can't wait to read book 2 in the series . So if you want a fun retelling of red riding hood check it out .
