WELCOME TO THURSDAY

 Good Thursday all or as I like to call it Friday Eve . Hope you week is going good and you are all getting ready for Halloween . Today I have a new author for you . Barb Jones and her book BLOOD PROPHECY QUEEN'S ASCENSION . 

                               BOOK BLURB 

  Bloodshed. Heartbreak. Revelation. When the darkness was compelling and the heart knew no bounds, was there really a right choice? With Michael’s life hanging in the balance, Amber had a choice: save her star-fated love or keep on the crusade to unite the magical community. For Amber, her fate was sealed even before her birth and it was her destiny to fight the great battle ahead of her. But, when it came to her heart -- her friends, her great love -- Amber’s torn. Not only was she the Queen, but she was a human in every sense of the word. She was vulnerable. And so the very people -- Chloe and Michael -- that gave her strength, quickly became her weakness. It wasn’t her fault she loved too much, was it? Nevertheless, the Tall Dark Man had set a plan in motion that could threaten the very existence of the Blood Prophecy. Would he gather his dark forces and succeed in destroying Amber once and for all? Or, would she assemble her powerful friends and save the world?

                         MY REVIEW 

     For Amber her fate was dictated to her before she was even born . She is Queen but also is human . She is torn between her friends and her love .  When she is vulnerable her best allies become her weakness . The tall dark man has a plan that he has set in motion that could threaten the very existence of the Blood Prophecy . Will he be able destroy Amber or can she over come and with her powerful friends save the world . 

   The characters in this book are vast and many which some I connected with and some were just kind of there . The main character Amber is a character that you can easily love she is strong but also flawed . She is written well and she is complex in some ways . These characters will have you liking them . 

  This book is a good read if you can keep all the characters straight in your mind . The author has made an universe that you could get sucked in . I had trouble getting into this story though . I felt like I couldn't really connect with the characters , I felt like there was so much crammed into the story I got lost with all the bouncing back and forth . I think maybe if it was scaled back a bit I would of enjoyed it better . Over all I did enjoy the story and will read this author again . So if you want a story to read this Halloween check it out .

GOOD WEDNESDAY ALL

   Good morning all , its Wednesday today I have a new book from Bree M Lewandowski  and her dance book Adagio. 

                             BOOK BLURB 

 Between the music and the dance, theirs is a love to find. But what if that space is too wide to cross? 

A career as a professional ballet dancer at the Metropolis Ballet Theater, Lidiya's days are a whirl of music, performance, rehearsal, and teaching students at the theater's conservatory. All those things are what she's worked for. All those things make her days chaotic and wonderful. 

Except even in the world of professional dance, where everything moves at the speed of the music, everything can turn upside-down. When the company's opening of Le Corsaire is threatened, Lidiya's only thoughts are how the show can be salvaged. 

Not of falling in love. 

Patrick's life had been ballet until nine months after a one-night stand left him a father. With his daughter needing special care, he exited the professional world without looking back. But dance is a community and a phone call from Metropolis Ballet Theater's director, desperate to save the run of Le Corsaire, is like a siren song he can't ignore. 

                           MY REVIEW 

 

  This is a sweet story with wonderful characters . Lidiya is a wonderful woman who 's whole life has been ballet. She loves her job and loves to dance . Patrick is a hard working man who loves ballet but he was thrown for a loop when he becomes a dad . They are a sweet couple that are friends and you watch them fall in love . Its so much fun to see them come together and feel their way around each other . They both have insecurities and fears that bring them together and sometimes push them apart . They are well written and complex and they will tear at your heart strings .  

  This is a sweet novella , I am not usually a sweet romance reader but this book sucked me in and had me reading well into the night . The author has a style of writing that will have you caring for the characters in a way like they are family .  The story is well written and have you tearing up a time or two and also cheering for the main characters . This would be a great little story for your winter nights so check it out.

WELCOME TO TUESDAY

  Good Tuesday all , I hope your morning is going well , its time to hunker down with a good book here as we are getting freezing rain and snow today . I have a great book for your Halloween night . WE WHO BURN  by Merethe Walther . 

                             BOOK BLURB

  Petra Freyrsdótter can raise an entire village from the dead with her magic—so why can’t she bring her lover back to life?

Petra has spent the last two years trying to resurrect Orrus, the man she loves. And even though she’s a powerful necromancer, nothing works, and Orrus is perpetually stuck as a listless shade at her side while she searches all of Aelamor for a way to restore him.

But when Petra gets caught by a priest for the God of Truth and Light—an order that burns necromancers at the stake—instead of killing her, he presents her with a strange gambit: If she can retrieve a blade that was stolen from his order, the priest will not only let her live, but will also reveal what he knows about how she can fully resurrect Orrus.

Although making a deal with a burned brother isn’t a good idea, Petra is desperate and out of options. Apart from saving her own life, she must do what she can to fulfill her promise to Orrus so they can be reunited in the world of the living.

When Petra finally tracks down Caspar, the thief who stole the blade, she can’t help but feel attracted to and intrigued by the handsome stranger whose hatred for the order is as strong as her own.

Everything falls apart, however, when Petra and her companions are captured by the mad priests who serve the God of Truth and Light and they discover the secret of the blade and the vile ritual the order intends to use it for.
Now, Petra and Caspar must work together to keep the blade out of the priests’ clutches and bring the entire order to its knees before it’s too late. And she must be willing to risk everything—including her chance to be with Orrus again—if she wants to make sure the horrible future the order has planned can never come to light.

                       MY REVIEW 

  Petra is on the hunt for the blade that might help her bring back the man she loves . When she meets the man who stole the blade and she fights the attraction that is growing between them . Things fall apart when they are caught by mad priests that are wanting to use the blade in a vile ritual . Together they have to keep the blade safe and risk everything to stop the order from doing the ritual and the plan can never come to light . 

   This is a very interesting dark fantasy book . The characters are well written and complex . Petra is a strong woman with a magic that can bring back the dead . She goes through so much to keep evil from rising . We see her break down and build herself back up again. There are huge list of characters that come in and out of her life as she tries to figure out what she needs to do .They are all written well and you will fall in love with them all . 

  This is a book that when you sit down to read you will be transported into a world of necromancers , cults of priests that want to bring back evil .  The author creates a world that will have you sucked in by the end of  chapter one.  The flow of the story is good through out the book and you see the growth of the characters through out the book. So if you want a book that will transport you to a time and place of a past time . Check it out for your Halloween reading night .
