HAPPY HUMP DAY EVERYONE

  Welcome to Wednesday all , today we have another new author for you to check out. Iuliana Foos and her book BLOODLINE , ORIGINS

                            BOOK BLURB 

   
Determined to turn her fantasy into reality, Ana starts her journey to become a vampire. Along the way, she learns the truth about their secret society, discovers her prestigious bloodline, and falls in love.

Not all vampires are accepting of humans and war looms in the shadows. An ancient tome reveals the vampires’ alien descent and sparks war.

An army bent on eradicating her coven’s existence threatens her new world. Survival or annihilation will be in Ana’s hands. 

                           MY REVIEW 
    What do you do when you just don't fit in anywhere . That is what is happening to Ana . She feels she doesn't fit in anywhere until the night she starts her journey in becoming a vampire . After running into two warring factions . When she meets prince Andree there is an instant spark . But like always there is danger on the horizon and will they survive the impending war . 
    This is an interesting book . The characters are well written and you will love them . Ana is such a sweet woman, who doesn't really feel like she belongs . Coming from an abusive relationship . She is wary and untrusting of everyone . As you read and get into the book you see her grow and she becomes really confident but also she has the feelings of not being good enough . When you meet Andree he comes off kind of cocky , like most princes are . I truly liked him, he truly loves and cares for Ana and wants to keep her safe . But knows not to mess with her when she is set her mind of something . They are great characters on their own but when they are together they are great . There are other characters that we find are good and not so good . That just keep wanting to keep the wars going . Ivan is the character that you will love to hate . You will either like him or hate him
    This is the first book for this author . She takes us on a rollercoaster ride . An original twist on the vampire lore, throwing in the alien aspect in the mix . We get to see a love story unfold before us also with Ana and Andree .  I must say it was a little slow at the beginning . It seemed to take awhile to get to Andree and Ana's story . Also the alien aspect did kind of threw me for a little bit . Over all I really enjoyed this story and the authors writing . So if you want a original twist on vampires check it out .

WELCOME TO TUESDAY

  Good Tuesday everyone , hope you are all surviving and reading your hearts out . Today we have another new author to me . Nancee Cain and her book THE REDEMPTION OF EMMA DEVINE

                            BOOK BLURB 

     
After the upheaval of being dumped by his girlfriend, David Patterson leads a quiet life as a high school teacher in the small Southern town of Pine Bluff, Alabama. Soon to enroll in seminary, his dreams are within his grasp.

But a chance encounter with Emma Devine changes everything. She’s on the run, desperate, and surviving by any means possible. His pastor’s heart longs to help her—and the rest of him is rather intrigued as well.

His random act of kindness brings them together, but Emma makes an unfathomable decision—one that threatens to destroy two lives, though her intention is to save one.

Four years later, Emma returns, seeking redemption. But can David—whose dreams took a very different course after their last meeting—forgive her and risk losing everything?

                          MY REVIEW 
   What do you do when you stop a shoplifter on Christmas eve . That's what happened to David when he met Emma . a young woman who is on the run and desperate . The pastor in him wants to help the young woman . When the unthinkable happens that puts both of them on a different path. When Emma's decision throws everyone for a loop will they be able to come out . When Emma returns will they be able to work out the past to continue with the future . 
  This book is very well written . I absolutely loved the characters in this book . Emma well lets just say one min you want to wrap her up in a blanket and tell her everything will be ok . At the beginning of the book , she is scared and has such low self esteem . She has been thrown away over and over . She is very defensive and doesn't know her own self worth , To me when she left her baby with David , she was doing what she thought was right . When you read her coming back into David's life she becomes a stronger woman , still a little skittish but she grew up . She still has to fight everyday but she is working on it all the time .
 David well he is such a sweet guy . He is giving and willing to help . He was on the path to be a minister when his life changed . Which I must say he did a great job . I fell for him and his vulnerability when it came to raising his daughter . He is a little over protective and everyone loves him. 
   This is the first book I have read by this author and trust me I will be reading more . She had me feeling so many emotions . I laughed and I cried and I felt a whole lot of love for the characters .  I wanted to hug all the characters and tell them it will be ok . The author writes with a passion that comes through on the page. I think the best part of this book is that the good guy is a good guy . He isn't a pompous arrogant man . He is humble and sweet . You will love these characters trust me . You should add this series to your reading list for this winter . You will love them

ITS MONDAY

  Welcome to Monday , yes I said Monday . The worst day of the week . Today we are going to review a new author to me . Let me introduce you to Jennie Marts and her novel WHAT TO DO ABOUT WEDNESDAY .

                            BOOK BLURB

   
What happens when hump day turns homicidal…
Finally out on her own, all college freshman, Piper Denton wants is to live a normal life. But any chance of normal is annihilated when her roommate is murdered on her first day of class. Add in the antics of a surprise new roommate, a scruffy stray dog, and the attention of three Star Wars shirt-wearing nerds who want to go out with her, and her days are now anything but ordinary. Except Piper doesn’t have time for murder—she’s trying to focus on her studies, her job, and the crush she has on Fitz, aka The Brilliant Barista, her cute, coffee-brewing coworker.
But dating can be deadly, and after another coed turns up dead—she and the Page Turners, her book-club turned amateur sleuths, go on the hunt for the murderer. Except things never go as planned when the Page Turners get involved, and suddenly they find themselves with pink and blue colored hair, dressed as bikers, and making friends with a large tattooed man named Snake when they go undercover in a dive bar.
Murder is anything but mundane when everyone becomes a suspect, and Piper’s life is on the line. Can she and the Page Turners catch the culprit before it’s too late?

                        MY REVIEW
  
     You know Wednesday is tough but when your Wednesday turns into homicide . You just have to have family.  That's exactly what happened to Piper on her first day of college . She comes home to find her room mate on the floor dead .  She doesn't have time for murder between work and school . Piper tries to put it out of her mind . But when another person dies , she goes to her book club to help solve the case . Will she survive and will she finally get that date with the sexy Fitz . 
   This is the first time I have met these characters . I have to say at first I couldn't really like Piper . She seemed very naïve. She did grow on me and I really started to like her spunkiness towards the end of the book . The book club well lets just say I would love to be part of their pack , they are hilarious best scene making friends with a biker in the dive bar . Edna is hilarious .  The characters are well written  and you can fall in love with them 
 This is the first book I have read by this author . I was kind of confused when I started because I started in the middle of the series .The story was good and it flowed well . The characters are well written and you won't be able to figure out who did it until the end . The author takes us on a fun filled mystery that will have you reading the afternoon away .. I am so going to check out the rest of the series . This can be read as a stand alone but you will want to read them all to get to know the characters . Add this to your winter reading list and grab a latte and a blanket and settle down for a good read
