About the book: MY VAMPIRE CREATOR TOLD ME THIS: "Sometime in your life, Allison Sekemoto, you will kill a human being. The question is not if it will happen, but when . Do you understand?" I didn't then, not really. I DO NOW. Allison Sekemoto survives in the Fringe, the outermost circle of a vampire city. By day, she and her crew scavenge for food. By night, any one of them could be eaten. Some days, all that drives Allie is her hatred of them. The vampires who keep humans as blood cattle. Until the night Allie herself is attacked—and given the ultimate choice. Die…or become one of the monsters. Faced with her own mortality, Allie becomes what she despises most. To survive, she must learn the rules of being immortal, including the most important: go long enough without human blood, and you will go mad. Then Allie is forced to flee into the unknown, outside her city walls. There she joins a ragged band of humans who are seeking a legend—a po...

 About the book: "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder forces American Naval Officer Zane Erickson to re-evaluate his life. A posting to untroubled New Zealand, after years in Afghanistan, should allow him to bond with his motherless teenage son. Unfortunately Cody doesn’t share his father's enthusiasm for this new living arrangement. Kelsey Hewitt is a single mother wrestling with her son’s drinking problem. She struggles to keep the truth about his abusive father from him and is determined to exclude men from her life. As Kelsey and Zane are drawn together by the boys’ friendship, they each have compelling reasons to avoid any possible intimacy. Through dealing with their sons’ dilemmas, their attraction for each other deepens. Can Kelsey risk allowing another control freak into her life?" My Review: This novel is a story of two people trying to move on in their lives and in a sense, hide from their past.  Kelsey has secrets about her past she ...

About the book: "Bound by love and magic. Betrayed by those they trust. Not everyone survives." My Review: I really liked the story of Taken!  It picks up where Enchantment left off after Josh and Channie had just been married.  The book is full of action and surprises!  You will not be able to guess how things turn out!  I personally felt that the subject of Josh and Channie strengthening their heart bond through intimacy was talked about too much throughout the book.  It seemed to me that it was brought up in every chapter and I felt that it wasn't needed, the story is great without all of that! I really like this world that Charlotte Abel has created and will read the third book; the ending is a big cliffhanger. (This book talks about intimacy, but it is not descriptive) You can pick up the Kindle version  here. Happy Reading!!! I received this book for free.  This review is my own honest opinion of the book. Source:...

About the book: "In Fire and Ice, Nancy, a naïve but resourceful, kindhearted woman, marries her high school sweetheart. As a working wife and mother, Nancy perseveres, despite having an abusive, alcoholic husband." My Review: Nancy and Tom are high school sweethearts who end up marrying.  Tom’s mother has never approved of Nancy and is constantly belittling her to Tom and trying to cause problems in their relationship.  Tom is immature and does whatever his Mom tells him to do.  Nancy is naïve and thinks that love can conquer all.  She finds out that Tom is not the person that she believed him to be.  He becomes an alcoholic and abuses her.  They have a daughter and he still continues his poor behavior.  The story line of this short novel is good, that people aren’t always what they seem to be.  I appreciated that the author showed Nancy as a character who wanted to keep her family together.  However, I do not agree wit...

About the book: "Twins Sera and Luke Raine have a well-kept secret—she heals with a touch of her hand, he sees the future. All their lives they’ve helped those in need on the sly. They’ve always thought of their abilities as being a gift. Then Luke has a vision that Sera is killed. That gift they’ve always cherished begins to feel an awful lot like a curse. Because the thing about Luke’s ability? He’s always right. And he can’t do anything about it." My Review: Intangible by J. Meyers rocked!  Twin brother and sister, Luke and Sera are Gifted.  Luke has the power to See (the future) and Sera has the power to heal people.  They keep their powers a secret from everyone, even their parents.  They don’t even tell their best friend, Fey.  Luke and Sera share their secrets only with each other and have a special twin bond.    This book is full of action, mystery, and love!   Join Luke and Sera as they find out wh...

About the book: "The last thing that the girls at the elite Jane Austen Academy need is hot guys to flirt with. Please. They need to stay focused on something that lasts much longer: an acceptance letter from an Ivy. But over the summer the school has been sold, and like it or not, the guys are coming. And it's about to turn the Academy--and the lives of its students--totally upside down... * * * To say Lizzie and Dante are polar opposites is the understatement of the century. He's a snooty Exeter transfer with more money than Google. She's a driven study-a-holic barely keeping up with tuition. It's obvious that Dante thinks he's way too good for Lizzie. And Lizzie knows Dante is a snob with a gift for pushing her buttons. But things are changing fast this year at the Academy. And when Lizzie's quest to stop those changes blows up in her face, taking her oldest friendship with it, she has nowhere else to turn but to Dante, with his killer ...
