Book Review: Crane

"She walks the Earth, a plague on mankind,
searching for he, her rotted heart doth pine."

We first met Ireland in Crane, the first book of the Legends saga. Poor girl has a cape and a curse. In searching for answers to try to get her life back to normal, she is swung into another literary mash-up. And man, is it clever!  

This book kept me on my toes while reading.  (Ok, you caught me, I was always sitting. But you know what I mean. )   I love how Stacey manages to weave humor into her dark, complex story. You've got to give this ongoing series a read, because I don't know how to describe it in a way that gives it justice. 

Go give Stacey some love and check out her books. You won't regret it. 

Book Review: Who We Were

 "...sometimes memories of the past are hardest to part with" 
- from book description on Goodreads

I was so excited to be one of the privileged people who got to read Christy Sloat's new book before its official release date.  This is her first book-writing experience in the genre of contemporary romance for YA, and I couldn't wait to get my hands on it.

Who We Were officially releases on September 15

Sadie is attending summer school - by choice.  While most teens are there to make up for slacking off the previous school year and failing, Sadie wants to get ahead so that she can begin taking college credit during her senior year.  The class that she needs is at a different school than she attends, and the peers that she meets there will shape her summer into something much different than she could have ever thought.

This book has so much hurt hidden between the pages.  I wanted to reach through the pages of the book (OK, you caught me - I was reading on my iPad mini) and shake some sense into one of the characters.  I don't want to write any spoilers, so I won't go into detail.  But just know that this book is more than just a typical romance.  

Friendship.  Football players.  Parties.  Twins.  

On a bit of a side note, I just want to applaud Christy Sloat for not taking the "true love waits" approach to teen romance.  It irks me to no end when reading a YA novel and the main characters rush to get married so that they can stay pure, or only kiss once - I know that people will disagree with me on this, but I think that view point is simply unrealistic.  Once upon a time I was as big of a prude as the come, but lets be realistic; teens show affection. 

Alright, stepping down from my podium now.

The last page of this book gave me all the feels.  In a good way, though.  Who We Were is so different from her other books, which really goes to show how Christy Sloat can capture audiences across multiple genres.  I'm so thrilled to be a part of helping celebrate her release and can't wait to see what she writes next!

Book Review: The First Victim

I have reviewed JB Lynn multiple times in the past for her Hitwoman Series. And though about crime and mystery, the hitwoman series is still light hearted and laugh-out-loud funny. This book, however, is much more serious in nature. 

I am surprised and impressed by Lynn's ability to flow so flawlessly between two vastly different ends of the mystery genre. While both carry suspense, The First Victim is more of a Law and Order type scenario, where things go seriously wrong. A serial killer is plotting to finally get the one that got away. I almost felt the need to hold my breath the entire way through. (Clearly, I didn't - I'm no good at holding my breath) 

I know that some of my friends have recently read Gillian Flynn, and I have already recommended this book to them personally. And while Flynn is most recognized for her book, Gone Girl, she also has many other great books published (though not as admittedly bat-s**t-crazy as Gone Girl). 

I encourage readers out there to give this book a go. I'd love to chat about it if you do!

Book Review: The White Door

Warning: this book will give you all of the feels. 

But if you've read the two books leading up to this one, you probably already figured that. 

I went through what might be called a book binge - I discovered the series a couple of weeks ago and read through all three books. It was wonderful!  But now I have to wait for the next book like everyone else. 

The White Door is the third book in a The Visitors series, a paranormal YA adventure. Those who don't believe in ghosts might change their minds after reading these. The whole, "edge of your seat" deal definitely applies here. 

Brylee has begun embracing her powers more, and is trying to help the dead in limbo move on to the light. But what about those that she isn't ready to let go of?  When I talk about all the feels, I mean it. I wasn't ready to get go of some characters either!  Will they find their way?

I just need to say that Brylee's parents tick me off. As a mom myself, I have a hard time imagining how distant her mother becomes. Then again, I'm a tad older than the targeted audience, and I'm sure that girls in their teens would covet a distracted mother-figure. 

Also, Ephraim is a total catch. Guys out there - this literary man is a good example of how to treat a girl. Read and take note. 

I hope that Christy is already writing the next book, because I can't wait!  I've already downloaded another of her books in a different series. She's a keeper!  

The official release date is tomorrow, but you can already download it on Amazon :)

Book Review: The Crimson Key

Blurb from Goodreads:

"The truth can be deadly.

Brylee Branson’s best friend and boyfriend have fallen victim to a horrible curse that haunts her home. With the witches who cast it dead she has no choice but to rely on the ghosts inside the Brown house to help her find a cure. But time is not on her side, because Lynley's illness is spreading rapidly.

Confused and scared, seventeen-year-old Brylee must confront a new ghost in the house she has never spoken to before. This spirit is not a Brown relative and makes no promises to help them … unless she can re-unite her with a loved one.

The fate of those she loves now rests on her. Can Brylee put the pieces of this puzzle together in time to save them? Or will the Brown house claim another victim?

The Visitor’s Series continues to scare and entice its readers with this gripping second book."



With the way that book one ended, I absolutely couldn't wait to start reading book 2.  Brylee's world is practically falling apart, and she has to find a way to make it all right.  There's ghosts, and witches, and a nasty curse.  Her best friend and boyfriend are in serious trouble - "it's" going to hit the fan!

How much do I love Christy Sloat's books?  This much!  ::holds out arms wide::  She is a wonderful storyteller, making the paranormal vivid and tension-building.  I was lucky enough to be given an advanced reader copy of the third book, which I am currently devouring. I can't get enough!

If you love YA, and if you dabble in the paranormal, this series is a must-read for you!

Book Review: The Brown House

I wasn't kidding when I said that The Visitor's series was next on my list. And after participating in the cover reveal for the third book, I was excited to get started. 

Brylee is a California teen who has to move across the country after her father loses his job. They end up in New Jersey, where the creepy house on the book cover becomes their new home. Everyone in town is frightened of the brown house, with talk of people dying in there, and of ghosts. Little did she know, Brylee has the ability to unlock the house's secrets. 

This book had me hooked pretty fast. While the idea of an old, haunted house may seem very first season, American Horror Story, The Brown House is it's own story. But just to warn you: you'll want the second book ready to read because the end of this one is going to have you shaking your fist and cursing. (Or maybe that's just my thing. ) 

After last year, when I discovered both Stacey Rourke and J.B. Lynn, I was wondering if I would find an author this year that I loved as much. Christy Sloat, you're it, lady!  But be warned: I've been known to live fb message authors while reading their books!

Stay tuned for the next review. Grab this book up and let me know what you think!

Blurb-

Her life took a wrong turn. He's driven by success. They didn't count on crashing into love...

Rachel Bennett loved her job until the day she finds herself doubting her choices.  Now she's hunting for a new career, but starting over isn't easy.  Her plan is simple—no distractions until she finds her dream job.  She didn't plan on fate throwing her a curveball in the form of a fender bender with a sexy guy in an expensive suit.

Craig Larsen is a wealthy, successful business owner with a plan of his own: survive his current PR nightmare and stay away from his overly determined ex-girlfriend.  His need for control and personal success is turned upside down when he meets Rach, a sassy redhead who can't drive.

Soon they find themselves battling with Rach's grumpy old neighbor, toilet-papering the trees of a high school nemesis, and fighting over the last slice of pizza.  Can two very different people plus one fender bender equal a chance at forever?

Just one little nudge, she thought and leaned closer to go in for the kill. He deserved it. She almost giggled at the thought of dumping him on the floor. She sucked in her cheeks to keep from smiling and edged closer...

 My Review:


What a fun book!  We can all relate to waking up to a bad day - one of those mornings where you haven't hardly started the day and it feels like you should just go back to bed. When Rachel wrecks her car into another, it looks like one of those days. This accident gets fate rolling into action. But of you read the blurb above, you already know that. 

I loved this book, and am a bit sad that I'm finished with it!  I especially enjoyed Rachel's feud with her neighbor. No spoilers, but garden gnomes are involved!  And while this book is intended for mature audiences, it's not so dirty that you need to take a shower afterward!  Fender Bender Blues is good 'ole chick lit (excuse me, Woman's Literature) and is a great way to spend a cold day snowed in.

"Classic cars, garden gnomes, and steamy romance? My kind of book!"

~Bestselling Author Kate Perry

“Reading Niecey Roy’s Fender Bender Blues is like eating Lays Potato chips. Once you start, you can’t stop! It’s just that good! For a new (non-fattening) addiction, read Niecey Roy!!! ~Robyn Peterman author of HOW HARD CAN IT BE?

"Fender Bender Blues is a rip-roarin' good time from start to finish. Filled with handsome men, crazy friends, and love scenes to rev up your engines, you don't want to miss this one!" ~Amie Louellen, author of Brodie's Bride and Love Potion Me, Baby

Excerpt-

“Now what?”

“Nothing.” Rach sniffed.

Craig shifted to eye her warily. “Since when do you answer me with single words?”

“Since I decided I’m not talking to you,” she answered with a shrug, crumpling up the white paper wrapper from her sub.  

Craig leaned his face in close to her neck and enjoyed the startled jerk of her shoulders. Her eyes opened wide in surprise. His breath shifted a few strands of hair at the nape of her neck as he whispered, “Why, because you want me?”

“You’re incorrigible,” she said, breathless, her cheeks flushed.

She’s enjoying this. The thought pleased him. Rach was on her back beside him now, her eyes closed. He glanced around the park to see if anyone was watching. No one was. He could swoop in for a kiss and no one would catch him. No one would care, he told himself. She won’t mind…

“I can feel you staring.”

Craig smiled down at her. “So what.”

She peeked at him with one green eye. “So stop it.”

“And if I don’t?” Maybe she’d tackle him, push him down on the blanket and…

She didn’t. She promptly closed her eye and went back to pretending indifference. “I’ll hit you, that’s what.”

“Not if I do this, you won’t.”

He’d only meant it to be a short kiss, but the pleasure of touching his lips to hers kept him there longer. Her tongue was velvet soft and warm against his and the slow mating of their mouths quickened his heartbeat even as he told himself, It’s no big deal, just a kiss.

She nipped his bottom lip and sent heat sliding through his body. The woman could kiss.

She whispered soft against his lips, “Now why don’t you admit that it’s you who wants me.”

About the Author –

Niecey Roy knew she wanted to be a writer from a very young age, but her moment of enlightenment came after watching the movie You’ve Got Mail. It was then she realized her place in life, and happily parked her butt on writing romance. Her dream was to create sexy vixens, hunky, half-naked heroes, and above all, romance; lots and lots of butterflies in the belly, breathless first kisses and happily-ever-afters.

When she’s not at her day job where she works as a legal assistant, she can be found at home at a cluttered desk, pounding her tired little fingers away on a keyboard with nothing but black pepper flavored sunflower seeds and Visine as her weapons for mass-romance-novel-creation. When her fingers need a break, you’ll find her at a table with friends, drinking a few martinis and showing off a new pair of (sometimes ridiculous) high heels. She’s usually the loudest at the table and most often the one snorting with laughter.  

Niecey is the author of Fender Bender Blues, a contemporary romantic comedy published by The Wild Rose Press. Her new novel to be released November 2013, Another Shot At Love, is the first novel in the What’s Love??? series.

2013: Books in Review

These are the books that I read in 2013.  They are not categorized by genre, and I apologize for that.  With my three (almost four) year old, I can never seen to find the quiet focus to do that.  This post, as it stands alone, has taken weeks of interrupted work, trying to piece together reviews, along with my list.

If the book title has a link with it, that link will take you to the review I wrote for it.  For authors in which I have read more than one of their books, I have tried to place them together on the list. 

If you have any questions about any of these books, please do not hesitate to contact me.  I'd love to chat with you and help you in any way that I can.

Book Review: Trust Me?

For a short time, you can purchase both Trust Me? and Love Me? for 99 cents each!

You know it's going to be one of those days when you get rear-ended on your way to work.  In the real world, whoever hit you is probably some high-horsed lady who was texting on her phone but still gets up in your face and demands that you were somehow to blame for the mess.  But for Jeni, the person who hits her car is someone just a little more apologetic...and good looking.  And yes, he's rich, too.

Trust Me? is a story about a couple's journey to be a stable part of one another's lives.  But it's not a novel for teens filled with a high school romance of hand-holding.  Young-uns, you should wait a few years before reading.  Or if you go ahead and read anyway, just make sure that you don't tell your mom that I am the one that brought this book to your attention!

One thing that really irritates me about most recent romance/erotic novels is that both the guy and the girl are made out of money.  Sure, it's a great fantasy, but really it just pisses me off.  Isn't it enough for the young, handsome man of everyone's dreams being loaded?  "I didn't have to work a day in my life if I really didn't want to, but I just love my job so much."  I'll tell you where you can stick it, lead female character!

That's why I find it refreshing that Jeni works in an auto repair job.  Sure, her friends own it, it's a stable job and she doesn't mind what she does.  But it's realistic.  And I need that with at least one character in a book.

Instead of going for shock value in the passages fit for only 18 and over, the romance illustrated is more a story of a couple falling head over heels for one another, longing to spend every moment with the other.  It reminded me a bit of when my relationship was new with my husband and how I would wait anxiously for him to drive down and visit me at school, just for a chance to snuggle up against him and turn my brain off.

I'm glad that I was able to discover KE Osborne's books before the end of the year.  I've got the sequel, Love Me? ready to read next!

I'm going to warn you - the end of the book had me pretty mad.  If you haven't read it, you're lucky that the second book is already available for you to dive right into after finishing this one.  You aren't going to want to leave it at the end of this one.  It's basically cruel!

About the Author:

K E Osborn is the Adelaide based Author of the Trust me? Trilogy, a romance series with love, laughter and plenty of lust!

K E Osborn was born in September 1984 and raised in Adelaide South Australia. She had a love of writing throughout High School but went down a different path to Design instead. It wasn't until she had a vivid dream about a three car pileup that the characters of her first book came to life.

Aiden and Jeni are the amazing couple from the Trust me? Trilogy and they were born into the world through the imagination of K E Osborn in 2012.

Book Review: It Happened Under the Mistletoe

I don't really have a filter when it comes to free ebooks. If there's a chance to win one, I'm in. The author of this novella was giving away 5 copies, and I put my bid right in. I don't usually have holiday-specific reads, so when I heard the title, I was in. 

After I received my copy, I opened it up on my ereader. And then closed the app again. Here's why:

Ay, oh boy. That's a rather steamy-looking cover. I just couldn't even try. The picture of the couple on the cover made me seriously eye-roll. So I put it on the back burner for about the past month. 

Since Christmas is now less than a week away, I figured I should probably give this book an honest shot. Don't judge a book by its cover, right?  So while Daven and I were snuggled in bed together last night, he watched Sponge Bob and I dove into It Happened Under the Mistletoe. 

Set in the time of dukes and dutchesses, Christmastide and dowries, this romance is truly old-school. A holiday house party aims to create matches for single socialites. But the most eligible man of all wishes that he could have found his true love before he gained his title as Duke, as he has no interest in the hoards of greedy girls. 

I ended up really enjoying this book, despite my snuff at it in the beginning. Sure, it's a rather predictable romance plot, but we need those in our lives every once in a while. I read this in less than two hours, so it's a quick, fun read if you're wanting a bit of an escape into a different time period where, unlike Game of Thrones, everything ends happy and no one dies!  

Book Review: Nearly Departed

You may hate your job, but do you have to clean up the mess that the dead leave behind?

Vicky is not a maid.  While she owns a cleaning business with her brother, the messes that she is contracted to clean up are a bit...bloody.

Keeping Spring Cleaning up and running years after her brother was declared missing in Afghanistan, Vicky has to handle all of the dirty work herself.  Crime clean up is her life, and on top of it all, she can see ghosts.  They tend to bug her at each job she goes to, wanting her to help them in some way.  And when she is contracted to clean a murder-suicide of three college students, their ghosts tell her that this is not how it happened.

If you happen to keep up with my book reviews, you have seen my thoughts on the the Hitwoman Series.  (Spoiler - I love them!)   J.B. Lynn writes wonderful fiction, and I practically begged her for a copy of this book to read and review! 

I can't wait for the next book in this series to come out.  I hope she's working on it now!  I breezed through this book, finding the plot engaging, suspenseful, and yet still hilarious in places.  And who would have thought that among the bloody carpets and ghosts with half a face that romance could start?

Do yourself a favor and buy this as an early Christmas present to yourself!

Book Review: Campbell

I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. It's such a thrill when authors want you to read their work.

Campbell is set in a present-day, dystopian world. It's 2013, but the only people who are around are the ones that were too young to be killed off by a mass-spread virus ten years before. The narrative switches between the present day and ten years prior, when the entire world changed. 

The children, who many are now grown, have somehow managed to keep major transportations, such as planes and boats, operational. But what didn't they have?  Internet. Interesting.  Broken up into territories like a compass, tensions are high, as the game for the throne escalates.

 Whoops! Wrong time, wrong kingdom.

I did have questions that were never answered, like how are these children flying planes?  Who's keeping the electricity going?  How did they learn to communicate and trade with other countries?  Like other dystopian-based books, I bet that more will be explained in future books to the series.   And I want to read it all. Now. 

The main players in this story are Tal, Leah and Connor from the West (California) and Lucy, Zoey, and Cole from Campbell (Canada).  LA hotshots and a farm family don't appear to have a lot in common, but when two of them are forced to spend some quality together, those assumptions are reevaluated. 

The further into the book I read, the more invested in the characters I became and the more intense the plot was. I craved a neat and tidy, happy ending. And while it wasn't quite a "George R.R. Martin, everyone you love is dead" ending, I wasn't thrilled with how the author left it. 

It's a love/hate relationship that I have with books that have at least one sequel. You've got to wait ages to continue on with the story!  There was an except at the end from he next book, but I didn't want to read it, since I couldn't have the whole book. ::pouty face::

I'll definitely be reading the subsequent books to Cambell.  If you'd like to read this one yourself, it's only $3.99, on both  Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Book Review: The Seven Steps to Closure

This was one of the many free books that I downloaded to my sister-in-law's kindle.  Sadly, many of them sit there, unread, for a long time.  But something drew me to this book, and I am happy that I decided to read it.

Tara turns 30 and learns that her husband is leaving her all at once.  A year later, the news is filled with images of her ex running for political office, and getting engaged...to her cousin.  She is in a constant fog, unable to move on.

Thankfully, Tara has a close-knit group of girl friends who are there to help her through her compulsion to purchase baked goods and be forever miserable.  An article in a magazine about achieving the seven steps to closure from a relationship turns into something that her friends insist that Tara try.

I really enjoyed this book.  I almost felt like I was reading Marian Keyes.  But she's Irish and Donna is Australian, so the book settings are different.  I feel like the main book theme is similar, though.  Females finding their place in the world and the man of their dreams, all at the same time.

If you like a good chick lit, give this book a read.  It's not free anymore, but you can purchase an ebook on Amazon currently for $3.99.  If you need a nook book, though, you're out of luck.  B&N only has the paperback edition of the book for sale.

Book Review: The Bionics

One of the great things about entering book giveaways online is that it gets you to "like" more authors; ones that you aren't familiar with yet. That is how I came across Alicia Michael's page on Facebook. And guess what?  There was a sale and I got to download one of her books for free. 

The Bionics takes place in 4010, a few years after the United States suffered from nuclear attacks. Some people's lives were saved due to experimentation with replacing damaged/destroyed body parts with mechanical, robotic prosthetics. And though the government provided these life-enabling alterations, they soon decided that anyone who had been mechanically altered was too dangerous. 

Blythe is one of the many people who have to fight for their lives daily. With her metal forearm and hand and her bionic eye, she is a sure target for immediate elimination by the government. Even still, she ventures out in order to help rescue others like her. 

This story line immediately sucks you in. Unlike some other dystopian-based novels post Hunger Games, The Bionics doesn't feel old or copied. The story is fresh and unpredictable. 

Why is this book so short?  I read through the whole book this afternoon, and I want the next book!  The good news for me is that there are two more books in the series currently out. But the bummer for me is that I don't have unlimited funds for book-buying. I can't wait to find out what happens to Blythe and Dax and the rest of the resistance. 

Book Review: Easy Bake Coven

This book caught my eye on a long list of freebies on a Facebook page that I follow. Feed your Reader, For the Love of Books, One a More Chapter, Coffee and a Good Book...surely it was one of those!  The title is clever and being totally free to download, it was a risk-free decision. 

Selene belongs to a small coven comprised of her friends from college. But her low-key life of running a yoga studio changes when her grandmother is attacked and a stranger insists that she is in danger. 

I loved how easily the story flowed and the surprises start from the get-go. I rooted for Selene as she discovers that her life as she remembers it is only a small portion; that she's lived another life completely. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I immediately bought the second book in the series after finishing this one. First book is free, second book is $3.99. Great reads that won't make your bank account sad!

Did you know that there was a Simpson's sketch called Easy Bake Coven?  I found out that little tidbit when I was image searching for the book cover :)
