Review of MANDY by Claudy Conn

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I always look forward to reading anything from this author has a way with words and always captures my full attention.

Mandy and Ned are twins, when Ned is framed for murder they set out to clear his name.

The twins are not yet of age so they have a guardian whom they haven’t met, their grandfathers friend ( he was given the guardianship when their grandfather passed away)

So they write to him for help but don’t expect him to come since they haven’t heard anything from him since the death of their grandfather.

The Duke ( the twins guardian) does travel to help them but is awestruck with Mandy and has to keep his mind on his duty, to clear Ned’s name.

The mystery and romance makes this book hard to put down! 

I gave this book 5 Stars

Sweet Evil / Sweey Peril by Wendy Higgins ~ Reviews

I have just finished two great books and here are the reviews.

 

I was immediately sucked in and found the building storyline interesting.

The characters themselves flowed perfectly.

Anna finds out her life isn’t what she thought, yeah she knew she was different, but when she meets others like her , her life is on another path.

Not only does she meet these people that are like her, everyone has a purpose.

With that said she discovers the key to her heritage is slipping away. The one person that knows her secrets is ill and may not last long.

Anna must make a trip to find this out and while she is at it meet her dad for the first time.

I enjoyed this read and look forward to the next installment.

I gave this book 5 stars 

This second book started off where the first ended. Anna is now learning to train with her father and making sure she is safe at the same time.

She has the burden of the hilt and at her first summit meeting thinks she might have to use it. She learns first hand what a Neph is all about.  You are always being watched and if you do not do your JOB you will be put to death.

She is told by her father she needs to make allies as a  part of the prophecy and he teams her up with Kopano to journey around the world and meet other Nephs and get them to join their group in the hopes of taking back their lives and to never have to WORK again at their jobs.

Kaidan , Anna’s love interest has moved to LA to move on with his band and has told Anna she needs to move on. Kopano  also has an interest in Anna and after a call to Kaidan, Anna is devastated to hear Kaidan tell Kopano to go for it, he has no feelings for her .

They learn that the Dukes( the fathers of the Nephs) think they have a traitor in the mix which makes the Nephs on edge and there mission has to be even more of a secret.

Anna and Kaidan finally make up and move. The allies have a set back but in the end they must keep going.

The emotions in this installment had me in tears at times and holding my breath at others.

This author is extremely gifted with her writing and I look forward to the next book in this series and other she may write in the future!

 

I gave this book 5 stars

Cover Reveal ~ UNBOUND by Cat Miller

 Amazon pre-order link

Girl gone wild . . .

College is supposed to be a time of discovery, but Danielle Vaughn never imaged it would be like this: heightened senses, supernatural powers, and a sudden craving for human blood. Dani is a demi-vamp, the daughter of a human psychic and a vampire noble, a living secret kept hidden for twenty-one years.

As Dani’s heritage manifests itself, her thirst for blood is matched only by her hunger for Chase Diedrick. But as the son of the Vampire Council’s most powerful ruling family, Chase is already promised to another. Dani saw Council politics destroy her mother’s life; she won’t let the same thing happen to her. Besides, there’s no shortage of men who are eager to satisfy her every need, including the alluring vampire Kayden.

Unfortunately, Dani also has no shortage of enemies. Her heightened powers of telepathy and telekinesis attract the attention of a rogue vamp who preys on gifted vampires, absorbing their skills along with their lifeblood. Now, Dani must seek the Council’s help to quickly master her new vampire life . . . or risk losing it.

A little bit about Cat:

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, and now I live not far from my birth place in Perry Hall, Maryland. I have two teenage daughters and a man that keep me busy when I’m not working full-time as a Certified Medical Coder. I’m an avid reader and I love all genre of romantic fiction from historical to contemporary to paranormal. Sleeping has always been a problem for me so most nights I can be found in the living room reading or writing instead of in bed like the rest of the world. I don’t watch television. It’s not a conscious decision, it just never occurs to me to turn it on when I have books to read and writing to do. It can actually be a hazard, because I never know what the weather will be until I look outside and I have to rely on my kids and coworkers for local and world news. I love creating the characters you love and love to hate. My characters remind me of people I know and people I wish I had never known.

BURNING DAWN by Gena Showalter

This is Thane's story, to be released April 29, 2014.  


New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter returns with a sizzling Angels of the Dark tale about a winged warrior renowned for his ruthlessness, and the woman who becomes his obsession...
A tormented past has left Thane with an insatiable need for violence, making him the most dangerous assassin in the skies.  He lives by a single code: no mercy.  And as he unleashes his fury on his most recent captor, he learns no battle could have prepared him for the slave he rescues from his enemy's clutches--a beauty who stokes the fires of his darkest desires.
Elin Vale has her own deep-rooted scars, and her attraction to the exquisite warrior who freed her challenges her every boundary.  But Thane's unwavering determination to protect her means she must have her greatest fears--and enter a world in which passion is power, and victory means breathtaking surrender.

New Release ~ BITTER Fruits by Sarah Daltry

Book Info:
Title: Bitter Fruits (Eden’s Fall, #1)
Author: Sarah Daltry
Release Date: 12/1/2013
Publisher: Escape Publishing



Blurb:

For fans of dark urban fantasy comes a novel that questions why forbidden fruit is always the most tempting...

A vampire-themed masquerade party isn’t really her scene, but Nora is sick of frat parties and bars. When she meets Alec, the appeal suddenly becomes clear. It’s obvious that they’ve been struck by the same intense mutual attraction, but Alec keeps his distance. Intrigued despite herself, Nora pushes a little deeper — and discovers Alec’s unimaginable secret...

Nora is not afraid of following Alec into the darkness, but the choice is soon taken from her. Someone is hunting her — someone tied to the secret and desperate to see it play out. But when Nora finally meets her aggressor, she finds herself hopelessly drawn to him. She needs to make a choice between the two men, but can she save them both, knowing one is destined to die?

Praise for Bitter Fruits:
“This book is one of the best paranormals I've read, and I've read a lot. Five stars hands down! I am proud to pass it on to all of you. Buy this book, devour it and enjoy. ”

About The Author:

Sarah Daltry writes about the regular people who populate our lives. She's written works in various genres - romance, erotica, fantasy, horror. Genre isn't as important as telling a story about people and how their lives unfold. Sarah tends to focus on YA/NA characters but she's been known to shake it up. Most of her stories are about relationships - romantic, familial, friendly - because love and empathy are the foundation of life. It doesn't matter if the story is set in contemporary NY, historical Britain, or a fantasy world in the future - human beings are most interesting in the ways they interact with others. This is the principle behind all of Sarah's stories.

Sarah has spent most of her life in school, from her BA and MA in English and writing to teaching both at the high school and college level. She also loves studying art history and really anything because learning is fun.

When Sarah isn't writing, she tends to waste a lot of time checking Facebook for pictures of cats, shooting virtual zombies, and simply staring out the window.

Excerpt:

He sits in front of me and brings me to his chest. Our flesh is hot and sticky where it touches and I can’t stop the ache between my legs. His breathing is ragged and he tightens his grip on the back of my head as he tries to slow it. I am hurt or angry or frustrated, but I don’t know which. He runs his hands along my entire body and I push against him, needing him and not knowing how to accept his denial.
‘I want you, Nora. I have wanted you since I saw you. You are gorgeous. However, there are secrets that... Please understand, the steps that you want to take will reveal things. This cannot end well for either of us. I don’t want to make you suffer, but I am fated to suffer. Don’t make me bring you with me into the darkness. I can’t bear to lose you.’
I sense the pain that grips him. The darkness that he speaks of sounds frightening, but I don’t feel fear when I face him and meet his eyes. ‘I will follow you anywhere. Dark or light. Stop trying to make my choices for me.’
Our lips meet again, but it is with doubt. Neither of us knows what will happen if we are to move forward, but I want to have a chance to find out.
My body is still crying out for him but now my mind is calm. I want him, but I want him when he knows that I’m ready for whatever that means. His hands touch me and his caresses are soft. We both slow our breathing and I try to let my will match his. When he pulls away, he gathers the picnic and looks at me with longing and a hunger I do not recognize. It’s not sexual, but desperate. Almost as a dying man looks in the last moments of his life.
‘In three days,’ he says, ‘I will meet you again at the church where we first met. In the meantime, I want you to look something up — and if you do not appear at the church, I’ll know that what you found changed everything.’
‘Okay,’ I say warily. I’ll do anything he asks, but his fear scares me. What kind of secrets can he possibly hold? Little right now could stop me from going to him in three days.
‘Find the name Charles Samuels. He was an Oxford student in the 1960s. And then we shall see how much of the darkness you are willing to face.’
‘I’ll look him up, but Alec, I’m going to be at the church in three days,’ I say.
‘For your sake, Nora, I hope that you’re not.’
