<span style="font-size: large;">After three years in juvie, Angela Davis is now months away from release. She'll finally get the hell out of Brunesfield Correctional Facility. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And then Jessica arrives...She's young-only ten years old-so why did she arrive in shackles under the highest security? And why is she being kept in segregation? No one knows what she did to end up there. But there are plenty of rumours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Pretty soon strange things start happening to Angela and her friends. Could they be down to Jessica?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This little girl might just be more dangerous than anyone ever expected...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Having never read a story by Danielle Rollins before, I had no idea what was to be expected going in. Also, this book has continuously been compared to the television film 'Orange is the New Black', but I've never seen the show, and so can't tell you what I think about this comparison. However, what I can tell you is that this book was intriguing and interesting right from the beginning. I loved the setting, the characters, the strong female friendships, and the slight hint of the supernatural element that is played with throughout the novel. One complaint with the book is that sometimes the pacing could get a little bit slow, but the mystery involved kept me reading and reading some more. With its creepy and sometimes horror inducing undertones, this is a story that will keep readers going right up until the very end. </span></div>

<img height="400" src="http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1452783825l/17927395.jpg" style="-webkit-user-select: none;" width="263" /><br /><br />*ARC Received from Bloomsbury for an honest review, thank you!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Feyre survived Amarantha's clutches to return to the Spring Court-but at a steep cost. Though she now has the powers of the High Fae, her heart remains human, and it can't forget the terrible deeds she performed to save Tamlin's people. Nor has Feyre forgotten her deal with Rhysand, High Lord of the feared Night Court. As Feyre navigates its dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms-and she might be key to stopping it. But only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world cleaved in two. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Why do I love Sarah J. Maas? It's because Sarah J. Maas is flawless, and one time, she punched me in the face with all the feelings, and it was awesome. A Court of Mist and Fury takes fans back to the beautiful and deadly world of High Fae and their deadly politics and hidden agendas, and finds Feyre struggling to deal with the atrocieties she committed and witnessed in the first book, 'A Court of Thorns and Roses'. One of the things I love most about Maas characters is that they don't just get over the horrors that are done to them, they suffer from depression, anxiety and PTSD just like many individuals do. They show the truth behind being a hero, and it's not all happily ever afters. Despite the hardships that Maas puts Feyre through, she is one of the strongest and realist heroins in the fantasy and young adult genre. A Court of Mist and Fury introduces readers to the famed and terrifying Night Court, and of course, its High Lord Rhysand (swoon). Maas creates the most brilliant scenes, finding the perfect balance between reality and fantasy that leaves my heart saying, thank you for reading this. I could go on and on about the beauties of this amazing and awe inspiring series, but no review could ever translate the unique and one of a kind writing and characters that only Maas can create. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Zoey Daniels has been tossed from foster home to foster home, where she grows up fast and tough. When she is placed in her “last-chance” home, she finds a reason to stay and turn her life around: her foster sister, Lexie, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Zoey will do anything to keep her safe.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After high school, Zoey is hired by a special government agency, the Department of Molecular Genetics (DMG), where she meets the other reason to remain: Daniel, her co-worker. The man she loves.
But there is something unique about Zoey. She can see fae. Because of this, the DMG hires her to work as a Collector: catching, researching, testing, and using the fae to save human lives. The work never registers on her sympathy radar. She was raised to think of fae as beasts that feed on humans and want to destroy them.
When devastation hits Seattle, Zoey's whole world is turned upside down. The electric storm connects her to a ruthless fae, a Wanderer named Ryker, whose dealings expose them to even more trouble and danger. They embark on a journey, running and hiding from both the government and fae, both of which threaten their lives and those they love.

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">This will be the summer of love . . . and death.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">When seventeen-year-old Rosalynn Young pictured her summer vacation, she didn't think she would be spending it working as a maid at the Millennium Hotel. She imagined painting and gardening. But soon, in spite of her disappointment, she meets Victor Gregoire. Wayward and enigmatic, he sends a chill up her spine. Everything about him feels foreign--unearthly.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">Dangerously drawn to Victor, Rosalynn willfully ignores his volatile mood swings. When she impulsively enters Victor's room, she finds a journal dating back to the 19th Century and a photograph of him from August 14, 1874.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; line-height: 21px;">He's hiding something sinister and she's desperate to find out what, even if it means risking everything.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Struggling artist Eva
Milaras is in the midst of buying groceries when a bomb blast tears the store
apart. A handsome man with mysterious powers saves her life and stuffs her into
a limo without a steering wheel—while treating her like royalty. Caught in a
deadly web of magic and murder, Eva faces an aristocratic destiny she didn’t
know about and doesn't want. Now in a strange world she has to survive the
deadly schemes of her new-found relatives as they maneuver for advantage in a
murderous royal court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Talak has loved Eva long
before he saved her life, but that love is doomed. She must marry a man from a
royal bloodline, and Talak is duty-bound to protect her until she
marries—regardless of his torn heart. Together they battle intrigue and
betrayal, only to discover they must choose between letting go of each
other...or certain death for treason. A choice Eva refuses to make.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Instead of
the large, perfect fruit shown in the flyer, the Granny Smiths at Budget Foods
were small and beaten up—yet another disappointing win for reality over
promise. Eva Milaras gazed at the poor things as she tore off the coupon and
stuffed the rest of the pages back into her bag. I guess we’re all bruised in
one way or another. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Still, she
was sure she could find half a dozen decent ones in the stack. She’d get some
yams and put them together in a casserole—a tasty and inexpensive declaration
that she was now back in charge of her life in spite of being broke. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She’d tough
this out with what little cash she had in her purse until the gallery could
figure out what was causing the mysterious delay in her payment. They owed her
for two large paintings, and that money would be more than enough to get her
back on her feet again. It was just a matter of time. She yanked a plastic bag
from the dispenser and began picking through the apples. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She flashed
on her little studio. It had great light, decent ventilation, and was within
walking distance of most everything she needed. So what if she had to maneuver
around her bed to get to the tiny kitchen? With Derek gone, it was all the room
she needed for her easel and canvases. She’d love to keep it if she could, but
the rent was due in two weeks and...well, she’d go to the gallery this
afternoon, see what Leslie had to say. She found two more unbruised apples and
took them as a sign of better times coming. She really would take charge of her
life—simplify, concentrate on her work, and avoid complications like an
unemployed boyfriend.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "ms gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Pardon,
Serenissima.” A strong, warm voice from behind pulled her from her reverie.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "ms gothic"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Turning, she
saw a man, early thirties probably, tall and well-built, dressed completely in
black. Who wears such an expensive silk shirt and slacks to Budget Foods on a
Saturday morning? They had to be club clothes, but he didn’t look like he’d
been out partying all night. And what a great face to paint! A delicious olive
tone to his skin, deep eyes, strong angular face-planes, so... compelling,
framed by black hair that fell unbound, thick and dangerously sexy, past his
shoulders. Great shoulders. Lean waist. Yes, he’d make a terrific model. She
found herself smiling at him, realizing too late that it probably wasn’t a good
idea. He was already standing uncomfortably close. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Are you
talking to me?” She backed away and tilted her head at the apples. “I’m afraid
I’ve picked through these already. Good luck finding more decent ones.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Forgive my
abruptness,” the man said, reaching toward her, “but you must leave this place
with me immediately. You are in gravest danger. Please—we must leave this
instant to avoid disaster.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Suspicion
chilled the spark of interest she’d felt. “Look, I came here just for apples.”
She slid one hand into her purse, locating her pepper spray. “Leave me alone,
please, or I’ll call store security.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She hoped
this guy didn’t know that Howard—the entire security staff of Budget Foods
currently on duty— was in his seventies and would never be able to stand up to
someone like this man, who carried himself with the smooth precision of a
dancer or a martial artist. But at least Howard had a radio. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The man
dipped his head and upper body in an odd, twisting bow. “Milady,” he said, his
voice tight and urgent. “Please, I beg you. Your life is in real danger. You
must trust me in this. I will explain later, but first we must flee.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Flee? Eva
looked around at the worn ordinariness of Budget Foods, with shoppers inching
their carts along the aisles. There was nothing here to flee from except
boredom. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Her finger
found the directional notch on the tiny canister in her bag. “Look, I don’t
know you, what you’re on, or what your deal is, but you’re scaring me.” She
pulled out the spray and held it up. “This is nasty stuff, and I’ll use it on
you if you don’t back off—right now.” She backed away from him again and bumped
into the stacked apples. Several of them tumbled to the floor—even more
bruises, she thought, as if they didn’t have enough already. She kept her eyes
on the stranger, wincing as the apples thumped and rolled on the scarred wooden
floor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In a single
fluid motion, the man flicked the can out of her hands and wrapped his arms
around her, pushing her toward the floor, covering her with his body. Before
she could scream for help, an explosion ripped the storefront window open, and
she heard the screams of others. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In a strange,
time-suspended clarity on the way to the floor, Eva could feel the muscles of
his torso flex and twist, pushing hot against her in a symphony of coordinated
physical power. How the heck did he know this was going to happen? Her back hit
the floor, and her breath whooshed out in a grunt. She looked up into his face.
His eyes stared into hers, fierce as a looming storm. Blue gray, she thought.
No, slate. He was heavier than he looked, and she needed to breathe. But he had
great eyes. “Get off me!” She pushed against him, and he rolled away without
protest. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She sat up.
Her ears hurt. The store—or what was left of it—was a mess. She could see two,
no, three shoppers on the floor, not moving. In fact, nothing moved, and the
stillness was horrible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A soft groan
floated through the smoke from somewhere. Still in its pink sweatshirt sleeve,
an arm without an owner lay on the floor. And blood. Lots of it. This was so
wrong. Oh, my god. She swallowed several times against a wave of nausea. What
on earth had happened? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then there
was movement. All around her, shards of glass began to twitch and shift,
becoming dark red scorpions scuttling toward them—dozens of them, different
sizes, all the same. Glass shouldn’t do that, she was certain of it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Do not move,
Serenissima,” the stranger commanded, his voice icy. He turned his back to her,
putting himself between her and the scorpions. She stared at his back. He’d
been hit by several pieces of glass—two of which stuck partway out of his
flesh. All of those would have hit her if he hadn’t thrown himself over her.
What the hell is going on? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His hands
glowed, and pale fire flowed from his fingers in dancing streams—first carving
a circle around them, then striking out at each scorpion. As his fire hit each
one, the creature sparked into smoke and dropped, again becoming an inert piece
of glass. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">What did he
just do? Eva looked around, trying to locate her pepper spray, but couldn’t see
where it had rolled. She needed to get out of here. But her body was too heavy,
felt too far away to respond. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I don’t know
how,” the man growled, “but your enemies have discovered who you are, milady.
Now you will have no peace until you reach your Ceremony or they have destroyed
us both, for I swear I will not outlive you.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He stood,
bending down. His hair tumbled forward, as if reaching to touch her. “I
apologize, Highness, but I have no choice but to carry you to safety. With or
without your permission.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Why is he calling
me these strange names? As he reached for her, Eva saw another shard of glass
sticking out of his arm. Blood drenched his shirt down to the cuff. His hand
dripped red, but he seemed oblivious of the injury. Still dazed, she felt him
reach under her shoulders and knees and pick her up as if she weighed nothing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He was
kidnapping her. “Stop!” she screamed. “Put me down! Help!” She twisted against
his iron-hard grip and grabbed a coconut from an end display as they passed.
Eva pounded it against his chest and face, but he didn’t even look at her as he
strode through the carnage to the rear of the store, kicked open the warehouse
doors, and jumped off the loading dock to the ground. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On the other
side of the alley sat a sleek limousine with darkened windows. As they
approached, a passenger door swung open. The man deposited her inside, wrested
the coconut from her, and tossed it away. He climbed in opposite her and pulled
the door shut, wincing at the reach. The limo began to roll. <span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Walter de la Mare’s “The Listeners” as the first poem to steal both his heart
and his imagination. That was in seventh grade, and he’s never been the same
since. At university he devoured Lord of the Rings in a single weekend. Then came
Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes, and Le Guin’s A Wizard of Earthsea.
Fantasy became his home turf.</span></div>

*ARC received for an honest review, thank you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hailey's dreams have always been, well...vivid. As in monsters from her nightmares follow her into waking life vivid. When her big sister goes missing, eighteen-year-old Hailey finds the only thing keeping her safe from a monstrous three-thousand-year-old beast is an equally terrifying creature who has fallen "madly" in love with her. Competing to win her affection, the Dream Creature, Asher, lures her to the one place that offers safety-a Parascience university in Alaska he calls home. There, she studies the science of the Supernatural and must learn to live with a room-mate from Hell, survive her classes, and hope the only creature who can save her from an evil immortal doesn't decide to kill her himself. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Wow that was creepy...and dark...and awesome! This book completely drew me into the confusing yet deeply enchanting world of Envoys, the supernatural, and a very twisted romance that had me wondering the entire time how this book would end because I was so scared for the characters omg. And that ending. Don't even get me started on that ending because I will scream. While you can't help but fall in love with the main character Hailey, sometimes you just want to slap her across the face for being to gullible and nice. No one is that nice. You also can't help but fall for Asher and Finn, even though they are both severely messed up and have no idea what love is. And that is what is fantastic about this story, you know the characters are bad and even evil, but you can't help but feel for them, and that is perhaps the scariest part. While it took a bit for the book to get going, I was never bored or wanting it to hurry along, the writing is hypnotic and charming, just as the characters are. This is definitely worth the read and now I need the next one stat!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:
1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire's nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero
Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.

But he did. And I was done waiting.
Days after college graduation I headed back down to New Orleans to retrace my steps and find Owen again only to find my life was about to get even crazier... thanks to the most beautiful and dangerous of all paranormal creatures, the Allures.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: 400;">Sara Wolf is a twenty-something author who adores baking, screaming at her cats, and screaming at herself while she types hilarious things. When she was a kid, she was too busy eating dirt to write her first terrible book. Twenty years later, she picked up a keyboard and started mashing her fists on it and created the monster known as the Lovely Vicious series. She lives in San Diego with two cats, a crippling-yet-refreshing sense of self-doubt, and not enough fruit tarts ever.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Sneak a peek at a couple of books in this collection:</span><br /></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: underline;">Pretty Little Wherewolf<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Whatever, Di. Help if you must, but don’t baby me.”<br />
If Di heard her, she didn’t respond. Not that Giselle needed verbal confirmation; she turned back around and slammed her locker shut without looking, and then stumbled straight into something… someone… hard.<br />
“Oh, sorry,” Giselle mumbled, trying to steady herself. She hadn’t caught the scent until after she looked up and saw who she’d almost knocked down – or, well, collided with. She couldn’t have knocked him down if she’d tried.<br />
Hello, Boy!<br />
He was magnificent. Was every guy in this school a male model? Towering over her at well above six foot, with muscles that went on for days, he was built like a statue with a hard jaw and stone-cold eyes to match. Though his looks were definitely worth paying attention to, it was his smell that had her standing dumbfounded. In all the years since she’d first experienced the change, she had never run into anyone like her. Now, standing here right in front of her was yet another wolf. She’d thought the lingering scent of wet earth might have been left in Di’s wake, but the longer he stood here, looking down at her, the stronger the smell got.<br />
“Do you have a problem?” he asked with a voice that complemented that spectacular body of his. Smooth and deep. Seriously… what a package. Her wolf was definitely at attention and begging for a second to come to the surface for a closer inspection. It was all she could do not to wolf out right there in the hallway, with all the students around to see. Yeah. That would make for a great first impression.<br />
Hiya, everyone… I’m the new girl, and… oh, yeah, and I’m a wolf, too. She might as well tape an old “Kick me” sign on her back; it would be less conspicuous.<br />
While she was practically drooling where she stood, the strange boy, wolf, man –whatever he was – looked positively murderous. “Are you going to stand here all day, or can I get to my locker?”<br />
So much for making a good first impression on him. “Sorry.” Giselle cleared her throat, wanting to say something smart, but for once, she didn’t have the words. She sidestepped sheepishly, and enjoyed the back view of him as he brushed past her to his own locker.<br />
Damn. Nice butt.<br />
Her wolf agreed, too. Wonder what his wolf looks like. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours! She couldn’t help but stare. How often did she run into other wolves? Male wolves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">—</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; text-decoration: underline;">Other Side of Forever<br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Allie, why do you hate me so much?” he asked softly as he stared into the sky.<br />
His question took me by surprise. Did he really think that?<br />
“I…I don’t hate you, Ethan.” I stumbled over my words. “I barely know you.”<br />
“Then why do you try so hard to avoid me?”<br />
“I don’t,” I lied, knowing that I did, but not in a mean type of way. I closed my eyes and sighed, wishing he didn’t have to ask so many questions. Couldn’t he just go back to saying nothing at all?<br />
“You do,” he argued. I could hear the change in his voice. He was smiling.<br />
“No. I don’t,” I answered sarcastically. His persistence was pinching my nerves.<br />
“Then look at me,” he challenged.<br />
Without thinking, I turned my head and looked at him. His warm, sweet breath blew against my face as he exhaled. The scent of peppermint. His dark eyes snatched me up and whisked me away. I was lost and unprepared as he drew me deeper and deeper inside him. The walls he created around me were getting higher and harder to climb. Like I had slipped into a trench and I was sinking into the earth.<br />
Ethan pressed forward, attempting to close the gap between us. His lips were so close to mine I could feel the heat emanating from them. And just as our lips were about to brush, the voice in my head begged and pleaded and screamed for me to stop.<br />
Then I turned away.</span></div>

<span style="font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 21px;"><span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cheryl works in an office by day. By night she leads a (not-so) secret life DJing, and throughout it all, is constantly scribbling away as the plot bunnies demand constant attention.</span></span></div>
<div style="font-weight: inherit;">
<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">Her first novel was written when she should have been revising for her exams. While it is unlikely to ever see the light of day, it was the start of long relationship with the evil plot bunnies of doom.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">A need to do more than just one subject led her to the University of Hull, where she graduated with an honours degree in American Studies. For the third year of the four year degree, she was able to call Baton Rouge home. Since then, Louisiana has claimed a large chunk of her heart, and remains a place she will always consider home.</span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">LSU was where she discovered FanFiction and currently writes (mainly) CSI:NY stories and a Rescue: Special Ops story. </span><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><br style="line-height: 21px;" /><span style="line-height: 21px;">When not transcribing the stories of the angels and archangels, working, or DJing, she is at the beck and call of three cats – all of whom rank higher in the household than she does. </span></span></div>

*ARC received for an honest review, thank you!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tully isn't alone in her skin. Whenever she touches someone, they feel everything she feels. All her ugliness, all her darkness. All her pain. The only thing she wants is to be left alone-and to finally get out of her small Oregon town. But then she meets Chris. He's everything she's not. Light. Trusting. Innocent. And he wants Tully. Tully knows she should spare him the heartache of being with her. But when he touches her, she's not sure she'll have the strength to push him away.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"From the author of Every Ugly Word comes a poignant, emotionally raw story about the violence that plays out behind closed doors, and the all-consuming passion of first love." </i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Review</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This was such an intense, heart breaking, and heart warming book I have read in a long while. Full of inner battles, weaknesses, strengths. and the fight to discover your self worth in a world that would tear you apart in the most brutal of ways. Tully's is the story of the abused young girl searching for something, or someone to keep her head above water, to keep her from drowning in her self-hatred and disgust. A book that had my eyes wet almost the entire way through, this is a story of darkness, but also of love, hope, redemption, and above all second chances. I loved it, and my red blood shot eyes can attest to that. </span></div>

<blockquote>
<div style="text-align: center;">
G.K. De Rosa has been an avid reader from a very young age. In fact, before she could even read, she tried fooling everyone into thinking that she could. At the precocious age of two, while living in Italy, she had memorized an entire children’s book in Italian and expertly turned the pages at the exact right moments of the story. As she grew up, she always enjoyed literature, no doubt having been instilled with a love of story telling from her early years in Catholic school where she was greatly influenced by exemplary teachers who taught her the value of English and Literature. Though she did not pursue writing in college and instead went for the more traditional route of International Business inspired by her love for travel and all things foreign, after a move to New York City, she found her creative writing side calling once again. She began writing a restaurant review blog, City Lights and Tasty Bites, detailing her other passion – food! The hectic hustle and bustle of the city, combined with long commuting times gave her the opportunity to spend more time reading and rekindled a lost love. After reading countless books in many diverse genres over the two years in New York City, and returning to her home state of Florida, she felt compelled to write something for herself. She had always felt particularly drawn to Young Adult novels and having been an eternal romantic at heart, a fantasy romance was a natural choice. She currently lives in South Florida with her real life Prince Charming and their fur baby, Nico the German Shepherd.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Girls who get close to Blake wind up hurt. His girlfriend Danielle will do anything to keep them away, even if she must resort to using dark magic. But the chemistry between Blake and Nicole is undeniable, and despite wanting to protect Nicole from Danielle’s wrath, he finds it impossible to keep his distance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When the Olympian Comet shoots through the sky for the first time in three thousand years, Nicole, Blake, Danielle, and two others in their homeroom are gifted with mysterious powers. But the comet has another effect–it opens the portal to the prison world that has contained the Titans for centuries. After an ancient monster escapes and attacks Nicole and Blake, it’s up to them and the others to follow the clues from a cryptic prophecy so that they can save their town … and possibly the world.</span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone stared at me, and I looked to the front of the room, where a tall, lanky man in a tweed suit stood next to a blackboard covered with the morning announcements. His gray hair shined under the light, and his wrinkled skin and warm smile reminded me more of a grandfather than a teacher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He cleared his throat and rolled a piece of chalk in his palm. “You must be Nicole Cassidy,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Yeah.” I nodded and looked around at the other students. There were about thirty of them, and there seemed to be an invisible line going down the middle of the room, dividing them in half. The students near the door wore jeans and sweatshirts, but the ones closer to the wall looked like they were dressed for a fashion show instead of school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s nice to meet you Nicole.” The teacher sounded sincere, like he was meeting a new friend instead of a student. “Welcome to our homeroom. I’m Mr. Faulkner, but please call me Darius.” He turned to the chalkboard, lifted his hand, and waved it from one side to the other. “You probably weren’t expecting everything to look so normal, but we have to be careful. As I’m sure you know, we can’t risk letting anyone else know what goes on in here.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then the board shimmered—like sunlight glimmering off the ocean—and the morning announcements changed into different letters right in front of my eyes.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">James is a Guardian. He is tasked with protecting the most important person in his world. For eight years he has done his job without complaint, but he has grown tired of living under the shadow of a father who is responsible for the most unimaginable violence and destruction his world has ever known.
Ainsley is at a loss for what to do with her life. She hates her two dead end jobs and the family who betrayed her. She has resigned herself to living one day at a time, but she longs for an escape from her lonely life.
When Ainsley finds James in her bed, their two lives and worlds collide. They may have both found exactly what they need, but the darkness James has been running from his whole life has just caught up.

*ARC received for an honest review, thank you!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Braxton 1903,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The serial killer known as the Phoenix continues to roam the streets and a new victim falls prey. For Moira and Detective Keenan Edwards, still on the hunt for the Phoenix, the rules have changed. The killer remains beyond their grasp. Moira is willing to give into ger fierce attraction to Keenan. However, the detective proves to be more reluctant despite a moment of heated passion. Then discovery of a secret Keenan never planned to share creates an unwelcome rift between the two new lovers. Keenan isn't the only one hiding something. Moira makes a startling disclosure about her past, which will not only test the boundaries of love, but might also be the clue that will finally unravel the mystery of the Phoenix. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The second instalment to the 'Memory Collector' series, 'Pawn of the Phoenix' invites readers back into the world of empaths, murders, mysteries and romance. This next book in the series is filled with everything I loved about the first book, including an interesting and dark world, alluring characters riddled with ulterior motives, and the budding hopeless romance between a slave and Detective, and much more. While this alternative universe is dark, gritty and brutal, it is exactly these attributes that pulls in readers and leaves them wanting more more more. The characters are the best part of these books, especially the protagonist Moira, providing some humour in horrible situations, while not making light of the tragedies that befall her. Despite everything that she has been put through, she manages to hope for a better life and find someone to put before herself. No one is as they seem, and it is the most innocuous characters that may pose the greatest threat. Another wonderful and exciting read from Jamie McLachlan that will have you on the edge of your seat. </span></div>

*ARC received for an honest review, thank you!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ever since being kidnapped from the Illias Jungle as a child, Yelena Zaltana's life has been fraught with peril. But the recent loss of her soulfinding abilities has endangered her more than ever before. As she desperately searches for a way to reclaim her magic, her enemies are closing in, and neither Ixia, nor Sitia, are safe for her anymore. Especially since the growing disocrd between the two countries and a possibility of a war threatens everything Yelena holds dear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Valek is determined to protect Yelena, but he's quickly running out of options. The Commander suspects that his loyalty is divided, and he's been keeping secrets from Valek...secrets that put him, Yelena and all their friends in terrible danger. As they uncover the various layers of the Commander's mysterious plans, they realise it is far more sinister than they could have ever imagined. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Review</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The second instalment in the 'Soulfinders' series, Yelena, Valek, Janco and Ari are back for yet another adventure that will leave readers begging to be a part of Snyder's world of magic, mayhem and intrigue. These characters are ones that will never leave you, their love for each other and their dedication to doing what is right providing readers with a lot of very warm feelings. The world of Sitia and Ixia is interesting and full of powerful enemies that would do anything to see our protagonists suffer, but while there is darkness, the characters always manage to bring laughter and happiness in even the worst of times. This is what I love about this series, no matter the trials and tribulations they face, they always manage to come back to each other. Another beautiful and devastating addition to the world of magicians, assassins and love. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Moira is a powerful empath, a psychic graced with the ability to read emotions and memories. Her skill is as much a curse as a gift, for in the harshly stratified city of Braxton empaths are slaves. Clever and beautiful, Moira has learned to rely on no one but herself. Determined to escape life as a concubine, she kills her master, and is imprisoned for the crime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This could be the end for Moira, but the government has need of her skills. A mysterious serial killer known as the Phoenix has been planting suggestions in his victims’ minds that drive them to murder and suicide. To gain her freedom, Moira partners with Keenan Edwards, a handsome young detective, to stop the killer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hunting the Phoenix will bring Moira on a more dangerous road than she imagined, forcing her to confront dark minds, twisted moralities, and her growing feelings for the detective.</span></div>

I'm a sharp-tongued, sarcastic cancer, who loves vegetable smoothies, winter storms, and the word "portfolio". I should NEVER be caffeinated, and require at least eight hours of sleep to even resemble a human being. At thirty-four, I just now feel like I can keep a straight face while saying the word "rectum" (which is actually a huge lie because I just laughed out loud while reading this to my husband). I live with my iPod firmly affixed to my body, drive too fast, and laugh/cry at inappropriate times.</span></div>

Publication date: July 4th 2013<br />
Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">To survive, their bond must be unbreakable.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">When the mysterious and passionate Rhane rescues Kali from an attacker in the theater parking lot, they form an immediate, smoldering connection. But Kali doesn’t remember Rhane or anything from their past. As far as Kali knows, she’s just a seventeen-year-old kid coping with an insatiable hunger for the “spark” or energy of others, feeding on classmates to survive.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A unique artifact—one that may hold the key to returning Kali’s memories—is uncovered by the archaeology firm where she works part-time, sending Kali and Rhane on a dangerous journey that leads them to the Forbidden City, into the unforgiving Gobi, and into the ruins of Rhane’s ancient homeland. As they fight for survival, Kali begins to discover who she really is and the true power she possesses.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But Rhane still harbors a secret that could destroy Kali…unless old enemies kill her first.</span> </blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>EXCERPT – Dark Siren:</b><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stranger shifted, leaning over until his mouth was within a millimeter of her left ear. He spoke softly, his lips brushing against some serious nerve endings, “Is this seat taken?”</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a nervous shiver, she blinked long and slow, savoring the low and sexy quality of his voice. Then she edged away to put at least an inch between his lips and her ear. If he touched her like that again, Kali was very likely to embarrass herself. Just as she was about to answer his question, the room brightened with light from the illuminated screen. What Kali saw made her jaw drop.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If an eighty-year-old grandmother had been sitting next to her when this guy had shown up, Kali would have politely asked the old lady to move so the stranger could sit down. He was absurdly good looking. Silver lighting accented every perfect line and angle of his face. Several locks from his thick mass of hair fell idly across his forehead, slightly curling at the ends. There was softness to his features that suggested he could be a keeper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The stranger returned Kali’s stare with an intensity that took in every part of her. But his eyes never left her face.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Realizing she had been staring at him stupidly for far too long, Kali struggled to find something to say. “I’m…” She cleared her throat. “It’s yours.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He finally looked away. Whatever tied her to him was loosed, and Kali pulled her gaze away. They didn’t speak again for a long time, but Kali was constantly aware of him. She kept stealing furtive glances in his direction because the sight of him was more enthralling than anything the movie had to offer. Growing bolder, Kali watched him from the corner of her eye at increasingly longer intervals. Apparently, the stranger was not as bothered as she was. Relaxed in his seat, he sat observing the screen with languid interest, doing a pretty good job convincing her that he’d forgotten anyone was beside him. Kali was so immersed with watching him, and was completely startled when he spoke.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“It’s not polite to stare,” he murmured softly without taking his eyes from the screen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kali jerked and turned away. But she wasn’t fast enough and was mortified to see the beginning of a satisfied smile appear on his face. She slid down into the chair, grateful for the darkness that concealed a blush spreading across her cheeks. From then on she tried to concentrate on the movie. But it was useless. She gave up and watched the screen absently, all the while thinking about the guy sitting next to her and how he probably thought she was an absolute dork. She didn’t get it. Boys never had this affect on her. For the past two years, it had always been them falling helplessly at her feet.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A mutated mix of human and creature launched itself from a quiet scene, growling and snarling into the camera. Several audience members jumped in surprise, and Kali was one of them. She made a noise that sounded like a strangled bird.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Do these things frighten you?” the stranger asked. He was clearly enjoying her discomfort.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kali cleared her throat. “Why would they? This stuff isn’t real.” This time, she didn’t look at him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After a long moment, he spoke again. “Right,” he slowly agreed.<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Author Bio:</b></span> </blockquote>
<blockquote style="margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Cynic, realist, and hopeless romantic all rolled into one, Eden was born and raised in a small, sunny town in South Carolina where thunderstorms helped inspire her best ideas. There are few things she loves more than curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee on a rainy day (except maybe chocolate cake, she loves cake), often reading into the wee hours of morning when something really grabs her. Eden enjoys reading or watching anything with supernatural elements, so writing paranormal and fantasy romance is a natural fit. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Her first novel, Dark Siren, is best described as paranormal romance artfully wrapped within a plot chock-full of action, adventure, and edge-of-your-seat suspense, while the series has evolved to become a journey of redemption and second chances as two characters understand that sometimes committing evil is necessary to protect what is loved most. Eden took the siren from Greek mythology (and borrowed a little from mermaid lore), creating an entirely different creature, with its own mythology, and one that Publisher's Weekly praised for its passion and complexity. This is not just another werewolf/shapeshifter romance or vampire romance. This is a story that both adults and teens can enjoy, full of great characters to fall in love with!</span><br />

<span style="color: #f3f3f3; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">United America runs like a machine. Everyone has a job and a purpose that makes the country run smoothly and efficiently. Nothing is left to chance and the people are under constant monioring for the good of the country. After careful consideration every citizen is given their career at the age of sixteen. In a country where rules are blindly followed, what will happen to a girl who dares to defy them, and what will this mean for United America?</span></div>

*ARC received for an honest review, thank you </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;">An immortal assassin is caught between desire and duty...</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A foundling raised in a world of humans</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Growing up, orphaned Josephine didn't know who are what she was-just that she was 'bad', an outcast with strange powers. Her baby brother Thaddeus was as perfect as she was flawed; protecting him became her entire life. The day he was taken away began Jo's tranistion from angry girl...to would-be-superhero...to ruthless, enchanting villain. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A lethally sensual enforcer on a mission</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A threat to the Møriør has brought archer Rune the Baneblood to the mortal realm to slay the oldest living Valkyrie. Whether by bow or in bed, he never fails to eliminate his target. Yet before he can stroke, he encounters a vampiric creature whose beauty conceals a dark heart. With one bite, she takes his forbidden blood...and jeopardises the secrets of his brethren. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">A boundless passion that will lead to sweet ruin</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Could this exquisite female be a spy sent by the very Valkyrie he hunts? Rune knows he must not trust Josephine, yet he's unable to turn her away. When Jo betrays the identity of the one man she will die to protect, she and Rune become locked in a treacherous battle of wills that pits ultimate loyalty against unbridled lust. </span></div>

<u><span style="font-size: large;">My Review</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Book Number 15 in the Immortals After Dark Series and they just keep getting better and better. I don't know how this is, since every single book right from the very start has enchanted and left me begging for more. 'Sweet Ruin' follows the story of Rune and Josephine, opening the world of the Immortals to more worlds and ever expanding boundaries. This story kept me reading until very early in the morning, unaware of how time flew though desperate for it never to end. I just absolutely love all of the characters in Cole's universe, making me giddy when there are 'guest' appearances and overflowed with intrigue to see how these different personalities interact with eachother. However, this makes choosing sides super hard because of how much I love them all. No character is simply good or evil, all having their own weaknesses and strengths, hates and loves, and this is what makes this book, as well as this series, so unbelievably fantastical. I seriously hope these books never stop coming, and if you haven't started this series, I suggest you get onto it because you are missing out on a whole lot of mischief, mayhem, laughs and tears. 'Sweet Ruin', yet another spectacular achievement and great addition to one of the best series I have had the pleasure of reading. </span></div>

<strong style="font-size: x-large;">Mystical: </strong><strong style="font-size: x-large;">Michael Weekly</strong><br />(Mystical, #1)<br />Published by: Limitless Publishing<br />Publication date: December 8th 2015<br />Genres: New Adult, Urban Fantasy<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">When Eliza Rose found out she was a witch, she thought she’d be casting spells…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, it turns out Eliza is on her way to becoming a mystical assassin. But first she has to start college with her best friend Dawn Roberts and her feline familiar Jared. If you think college is stressful, try finding your best friend being seduced—nearly to death—by a venomous fairy. Something is horribly wrong, and Eliza must find out what it is. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Knowing who’s who in the Mystical world can be a burden—or save her life…</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">Murderous mermaids, seductive fairies, and manipulative elves are terrifying enough, but pure witches can become corrupt…and they’re the most dangerous creatures of all. Eliza struggles to discover the source of this chaos, but is repeatedly attacked—and saved by a shadowy figure. On a very personal note, Eliza must learn whether corruption is beginning to claim her mother. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Her strongest ally might be handsome, enigmatic Donovan—but he is hiding a shocking secret…</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">Donovan wants nothing to do with his old gang—not after the things they’d made him do. But when he meets Eliza, he’s both frustrated by her amateur skills and impressed by her emerging strength, and he feels compelled to help her grow into the assassin she’s meant to be.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Every answer has a price, and there are beings born to corrupt the pure.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-size: large;">Eliza fights to master her skills before it’s too late, while Donovan must determine whether Eliza can be saved…or if she must die to keep her out of the hands of those who would use her powers to reign over all of Mystical.</span></blockquote>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">EXCERPT:</span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I attempt to move and save her. Instead, I clench my hands into a fist, my throat is dry, and my heart drops inside of my chest. My hands are shaking, and I’m struggling to breathe properly. I can’t lunge forth. I’m too nervous. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I press my lips together. Anxiously, my eyes slide from left to right as I try to think of what I can do to save this innocent girl. I glance down as soon as I hear something moving below me. Gravel on thin strands of weeds puckers out of the ground slowly and slithers up my calves. I cringe as the feeling of the moist dirt on my skin stings my legs. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The sweet wind his wings create brush against my face, intoxicating me and causing my neck to numb. I become drowsy, my vision becomes blurry, and I forget about trying to save her. I’m paralyzed in this peaceful reverie. The smell of fresh roses controls my thoughts and actions. My eyes daze and, though I blink twice to wake myself up, I don’t want to fight against this calm feeling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: large;">It feels amazing.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The weeds continue to wrap around my legs, holding me in place. I shake my head, trying to fall back into reality. I press my lips tightly together and focus on cutting off the weeds slowly. With each slash, it feels like my movement and reactions are slowing down. It must be the scent causing the nerves in my body to act strange. I cover my nose and continue cutting the strands of weed silently. Each cut increases the growth beneath me. The mud from the gravel thickens, gluing me further in place. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The girl moans in pleasure while the weeds attach to me and cling onto the fabric of my clothing. The noise she is making and the weeds from underneath me are overwhelming me. My heart picks up frantically, and my lips feel dry. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The strange creature caresses his prey’s bruised body. There are glowing hickeys all over her skin. He allows the weeds to slither around her neck slowly. He leaves another colorful hickey on her skin. He kisses her neck, eventually pulling on her skin with his sharp teeth. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The scent of his tongue sliding slowly on her neck flows over to where I’m being held captive. My lips part as her eyes roll back into her head. I can feel my mind and thoughts drifting away with her. I want the creature’s lips on my skin just as much as his prey does.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-size: large;">Think, Eliza, think. Stay focused.</span></em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I shudder as the cold wind tickles the tiny hairs on my skin. The guy stops kissing the girl and the moans fade away. He looks up and scans his setting. His eyes lock on my hiding place. I increase my cutting movement as fast as I can. He smirks at me with colorful drool dropping to the ground from his white blade-like teeth. His red lips glimmer in front of me in the shadows.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He lets the weeds take over the girl’s body, preserving his meal for later. She is still stuck in ecstasy. Her eyes slide in my direction. Even though she must be in pain, she’s smiling. Weeds form around her body, slither up, and then slap across her eyes and mouth. </span><span style="font-size: large;">The creep holding her captive flutters toward me slowly. He reaches out as weeds beneath the ground and roots spring up and wriggle around my ankles and neck. They travel up against my thighs and then slap across my mouth, preventing me from screaming. I am lifted up against the wall, just how the girl is in front of me. </span><span style="font-size: large;">I raise my dagger to try and cut the weed covering my mouth, but I lose my grip and it falls to the ground. I panic, struggling to breathe, but the same scent crawls into my nostrils. Its sweet taste overpowers my senses. My heart beat slows down drastically as my eyes follow the monster, who is floating in front of me, grinning wickedly. He touches my skin with his soft hand, sizzling and calming my emotions. My heart skips a beat.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><span style="font-size: large;">In your past life you were a legendary figure in a passionate relationship with a vampire. Now your enemies from the past have found you, determined to make you pay a terrible price for a life you lived more than 200 years ago. </span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Emma Rue is an eager college freshman. For reasons she cannot understand, she attacks her professor in front of her stunned classmates. Desperate for answers, Emma goes to a psychiatrist who uses hypnotic regression to explore her troubled childhood. But when the regression goes too far, back into her past life, a remarkable revelation emerges that shatters Emma's world. Suddenly on the run from powerful forces, Emma seeks out a shadowy figure from her past life. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Julian St.Fluer is the 18th century vampire who transformed Emma's soul. The beautiful and enigmatic Julian holds the key to Emma's past, but will he help her?

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>My Review:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The many twists and turns throughout the book kept me intrigued until the very last page, the mysteries and darkness entwined within the pages making for a novel that I did not want to end. However, while the characters eventually grew on me towards the end, I still felt that there was a bit of a disconnect between the reader and the characters, this disappointed me a bit because I really wanted to become fully engaged in their lives, but there was just something missing that made this a challenging thing to accomplish. Nevertheless, I became invested in the story of Cassandra and Emma due to the mystery and gothic element surrounding their past and present. There was something not quite right within the story and I was determined to figure out what that thing was, and while we eventually figure it out, I wanted more to read at the end! Overall, 'Heartblaze' is an interesting read filled with mystery and madness that will leave readers needing the next one like now!</span></div>
