The fascinating beauty is clearly a vampirAsher doesn't know why the email sent to him about a vampire attack put him in the pathway of Jo Radcliffe. The fascinating beauty is clearly a vampire hunter and is used to fending for herself, but Asher believes it is too coincidental that they both received emails to go to the same place. Deciding he needs more information he makes a deal with Jo to figure out who is behind the mysterious email but Jo has plans of her own which do not include Asher. Asher though fro the first time in centuries feels a pull to Jo that has him wanting to stay by her side. Could there be an enemy out there that he can't see and will Jo be a weakness he can't afford?
This was wonderful, Asher radiates alpha male but he is also a bit aloof which makes him very charismatic.

Elsbeth finds herself leaving Texas for a small island in Guernsey, it is fitting since her relationship has hit disaster in an embarrassing fashion. Elsbeth finds herself leaving Texas for a small island in Guernsey, it is fitting since her relationship has hit disaster in an embarrassing fashion. She never expects her new life to be embroiled in an unsolved mystery or to be spending time with Bishop, a man who is a mystery in itself. As everything begins to unfold, Elsbeth finds herself embarked in a journey she never anticipated.
This was completely unexpected for me. The story had a little bit of everything I look for in a book. I really liked Elsbeth and Bishop, intrigued from the beginning. Had several twists and turns I never expected. Will definitely go and read other books from this talented author....more
When Raini found out Maddox was her anchor, she knew that it would never be. Raini couldn't agree to anchor with someone whose values are as unbendingWhen Raini found out Maddox was her anchor, she knew that it would never be. Raini couldn't agree to anchor with someone whose values are as unbending as Maddox's. She was not exactly sure what Maddox's secrets were but she had heard the rumors about him. Maddox didn't appear to be wanting to anchor with her either, but when Raini asks Maddox for a favor out of desperation he agrees but wants something in return.
Raini finds herself spending time with Maddox, the chemistry has been there from day one but she doesn't plan to pursue it. Maddox has other plans though and he knows he wants Raini in his bed. Trouble is surrounding them and the more Maddox tries to protect Raini the more he realizes he can trust her which has been his reluctance in forming the anchor bond. Can Raini accept Maddox as her anchor and maybe something more?
This was fantastic. Maddox peaked my interest the minute his character was introduced. Raini has always been a bit of a mystery and you get a chance to really understand her character. Loved her father Lachlan, he is a hoot. Amazing read....more
Caith Morningstar is a bar owner and mediator when it comes to the tween. The tween is the place between Heaven and Hell where creatures that go bump Caith Morningstar is a bar owner and mediator when it comes to the tween. The tween is the place between Heaven and Hell where creatures that go bump in the night frequent. When a wayward Angel Samkiel shows up not only does Caith find herself embroiled in a battle she was not expecting but also being pulled in with her attraction towards Samkiel. Did I mention she is the niece of Satan?
There is a lot to this story but I found it refreshingly new in ideas. The chemistry between Caith and Samkiel is sizzling and does not let up. Great beginning to a new series....more

MMaccus Fury is a fallen angel who has become an assassin. When Gabriel shows up wanting to hire him to kill Morrigan Quill he wants to find out why. Morrigan is a bounty hunter who sold herself to the devil, when he shows up wanting her to kill Maccus she is not sure what he has done to tick off the Lucifer. Thinking she will seduce him she does not expect that the attraction is mutual or that Maccus is out to end her as well. Now they are fighting the growing feelings for one another while staying alive at the same time.
There is so much more to this particularly with Morrigan she has a huge back story that plays into the plot. I thought this was a terrific kick off to a new series. I liked the build up and thought it was a refreshing take to this type of storyline. A new series that will knock your socks off....more

Wardens are shifter gargoyles who protect humankinEighteen year old Trinity Marrow has mostly lived her life behind the walls of a Warden's compound. Wardens are shifter gargoyles who protect humankind from demons. The majority of the Warden's believe she is human, but she is more than that. It is a carefully guarded secret only a few know about. Her constant companion is Misha, her bonded protector who trains her and tries to keep her out of trouble that she seems to always finds herself in.
When the Washington DC Warden's arrive asking for help, Trinity meets Zayne. Zayne sees more to Trinity and he wants to figure out why a human is living on the compound. Misha wants her to say away from Zayne altogether, but Trinity keeps finding herself in the same room with Zayne. With demons attacking more frequently in forms she they have never seen, someone gets caught in the crossfire and has Trinity teaming with Zayne to help find them.
Really good story. I found the writing descriptive visually so it was easy to imagine what was happening. The story has so much depth to it, layers upon layers of a fantasy world. At times Trinity is too daring for her own good but I think it is her nature and she has lived in a bit of a glass menagerie. Highly entertaining....more

The Four Hundred Year Ball is closely approaching and old relationships begin to reconnect. The peace they achieved ten years ago seems to be cracking and in order to save others they will need everyone possible to prepare for a fight that could destroy everything.
I will say overall the story was good but I was confused by some of the characters. I think it would have been better to have read previous series to help fill in some of the gaps for me. I did really like Mimi and Kingsley, was definitely intrigued by these two. ...more

Riveting. This was unlike any book I have read before. The emotion of the hybrids weariness about humans, their efforts to strive, and seeing Rosie's growth is met with a ton of emotions. You could easily picture every aspect of this story. Loved Carnal, he is bad boy and his interest in Rosie grows from lust to something more. Very powerful read. Thrilled to have found a new to me author and she has a ton of books to read to keep me busy until the next Exiled book....more

NMaggie has never lived anywhere long and now that her Aunt has relocated her to New Orleans, Maggie is faced with a new problem staying a full year. Not only is she weary of being in one place, her new landlord has her attending a private school against Maggie's better judgement.
I don't know how to truly describe this story because if I delve into the full plot line it will give away so much of this entertaining read. There is a mystic quality to the story and I loved the backdrop of New Orleans as the hub of the story. Needless to say once Maggie arrives she knows she has a gift, but she has no idea as to what she is. I was thoroughly entertained while reading. Unexpected treasure....more

With a fresh start at a school who acknowledges the the uniqueness of it’s student.

Without divulging too much, this story completely fascinated me, I have not been this entranced since reading the House of Night series. Kat is trying to be an average seventeen year old, but sh is far from that. I liked the pacing and the way the story revealed itself, it is one you pick up and try to guess what will happen next and keep reading to figure out if your guess actually becomes a reality. Wonderful story, hope there is a next one....more

With a threat still out there and Vivienne learning how truly special she is, she begins to realize that she is Micah's anchor just as much as he is hers.
The third in the Reason series. This was the one I had been waiting for, the emotions were rampant and I loved the pacing in this story. Micah is such a sweetheart, so tender in his care for Vivienne. This was my favorite in the series thus far, anxious for the next book....more

Mikah is restraining himself from doing the one thing he feels strongly about, swooping in and protecting Vivienne. Although Vivienne has asked for some space, Mikah still has been keeping an eye on her from afar. If it were not for his instincts, he may have never have found Vivienne hurt and in need of help.
This was a wonderful sequel. You get to learn more about Mikah and the mysterious marks on his back. He begins to evolve while watching over Vivienne. I am so rooting for this couple who can't seem to catch a break. A fantastic addition to the Give Me series....more
