It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of reading something filled to the brim with action. (Ok, it may not seem like it to you, but remember…I read 5 books for every 1 I post about.) So when I finally got around to picking up “Touch” by Jus Accardo I was excited. Hell.. just take a look at the cover quotes: “Memorable characters, heart pounding action, and sizzling hot romance – TOUCH has it all!” Jennifer L. Armentrout, Author of Half-Blood “Raw and emotional; just like it’s heroine, TOUCH packs a mean right hook. Jus Accardo’s action-packed debut

In December of 2009 I reviewed “Torment’s” prequel “Fallen.“ While not a five star book I still loved it, and gave my nod of approval to dive right in. Then… I put the book to the back of my head and moved on. Knowing that “Torment” was not to be released until September of the next year there was 0 point (in my mind) to dwell on the excruciating wait that was in my future. Now… for anyone who reads series novels it is a well known fact that the closer the release date (for the next book) the antsier

Dear Paranormal Junkies, I’m sorry! Can you ever forgive me? I have been so focused on cleaning out my inbox lately that I have been a tad bit neglectful towards you. Well… the buck stops here, and to prove it… I have put together a list for you. Here are the biggest of the big slated to come out in the next few months. Most of them can be pre-ordered for your Kindle, all of them can be pre-ordered in hardback. So, here is to making amends, and forging a new path. My promise to you is this. Every 3rd

For anyone that reads “series novels” you know there is nothing more agonizing than waiting for the next book, but when you read a book, love a book, and in no way expect a follow-up to it, you become just that much more excited when 6 months down the road they announce its predecessor. I first read “Shiver” by Maggie Stiefvater in September of 2009, and was instantly impressed with it’s originality and beautiful writing. Stiefvater created two very lovable characters, in one very unfortunate situation, and she did it in a way that left the rest of her YA/Paranormal

Life is full of lessons, some that take us significantly longer to learn, and others that pound into us like 50 foot tidal waves. One of the lesson we learn over and over as we mature is how to love. Love is one of the more complicated of lesson. It is a vast mixture of approximately 500 emotions, most of which you don’t really understand or that you would ever admit, and the other is compromise. Learning that sometimes you have to adjust yourself or your expectations to achieve harmony. In “The Clearing” by Heather Davis, love becomes even more

After reading roughly 1 million paranormal novels ( ha ), it tends to be a tad bit difficult to impress me. After about 50 all of the plot lines start to resemble each other and even the characters start to take on the same traits, so imagine my surprise when I finally found the time to read “Glimmerglass” and jumped into a entirely new and original world. Dana has 1 major problem… her mother is a raging alcoholic, but when Dana decides she’s had enough of her 1 problem and hops a plane to her “faerie” father’s house in Avalon,

With the exception of the “classics” I haven’t been all that thrilled with my free Amazon finds. The majority of them are in need of a diligent editor and if their writing isn’t the problem, 9 times out of 10 the plot is, however… the one thing I DO think they are great for is finding new “series reads.” (Yes.. I know… I shouldn’t be starting anymore series) A few times a month you can find a starter novel (by an established author) up for grabs for 0 denaro. The purpose of these finds are obvious, get 1 free buy

Dear Mysterious Powers and Angry Evil Dudes… my how I have missed you. As you know by know (because I’m annoying and have said it about 500 times) I have been slammed with review request over the last month which, coincidentally enough, has left me little time to my OWN devises (aka the multitude of books I purchased that having been sitting on my Kindle like little sad puppies for a while now.) So, when my husband had to make a sudden trip out of town, and offered to bring the kiddos with him, my first thought was Wahoo!!! I

What would you do if you found your true love? Cling to him/her with all of your might? Run away scared? What if after weeks of pure bliss with this new love you found out that everything he’s told you is a lie… or is it? I found this book out of pure happenstance. I wanted a change of pace so I did what most mentally unstable people would do and I “Googled” “Books…change of pace” and viola’ guess what popped up… a book called “The Pace.” Now…I wasn’t expecting Google to quite so specific (or smart-ass) with my request,
