Eternal Service by Regina Morris

3.5 Stars

Vampires exist among us. They can be our neighbor, best friend, our child's teacher ...

They alter their aged appearance based upon the amount of blood they consume. They move to a new area, drink a lot of blood, and appear young. Slowly they limit their intake of blood and age, right in front of our unsuspecting eyes. After decades, they fake their death, move, and do it over and over again.

Most live quiet lives in an effort to blend in.

Some however want power and control.

The Colony is an elite group of vampires sworn to protect the President of the United States from these rogue vampires.

When Raymond Metcalf, vampire coven master of the Colony, teams up with a federal operative of the human female persuasion–who has no idea that vampires even exist–will his mission or his heart be compromised first?

Career military woman, Alex Brennan, is being offered the promotion of a lifetime and with it a romance that she has desperately been seeking. Does she dare accept the position as Director of the Colony, an elite group of deadly creatures of the night and risk a dangerous romance with a man who isn't even human?

Together, can they save the President?

Review: The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

5+ Stars

Twenty-year-old Camryn Bennett had always been one to think out-of-the-box, who knew she wanted something more in life than following the same repetitive patterns and growing old with the same repetitive life story. And she thought that her life was going in the right direction until everything fell apart.

Determined not to dwell on the negative and push forward, Camryn is set to move in with her best friend and plans to start a new job. But after an unexpected night at the hottest club in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, she makes the ultimate decision to leave the only life she's ever known, far behind.

With a purse, a cell phone and a small bag with a few necessities, Camryn, with absolutely no direction or purpose boards a Greyhound bus alone and sets out to find herself. What she finds is a guy named Andrew Parrish, someone not so very different from her and who harbors his own dark secrets. But Camryn swore never to let down her walls again. And she vowed never to fall in love.

But with Andrew, Camryn finds herself doing a lot of things she never thought she'd do. He shows her what it's really like to live out-of-the-box and to give in to her deepest, darkest desires. On their sporadic road-trip he becomes the center of her exciting and daring new life, pulling love and lust and emotion out of her in ways she never imagined possible. But will Andrew's dark secret push them inseparably together, or tear them completely apart?

(Due to sexual content and language, this book is recommended for 17+ - Adult Contemporary Women's - New Adult Fiction)





   My Thoughts; I am currently sitting here puffy eyed, recuperating  from a complete and total emotional breakdown. I refuse to say how this book turns out in the end because I feel it is necessary to have the FULL experience.

  Cam is just a girl... a girl fighting everything that life has thrown her way. She isn't RUNNING away, she is moving on. On from the pain of her past, on from the mundane present and she is not even contemplating a future. She is just doing what she wants. Til she meets Andrew, who seems to be doing the same. A chance meeting on a yucky Greyhound bus. Two people who have not showered or brushed their teeth in at least 24 hours slowly become friends. 

   I found myself, midway of this book, thinking, 'I could quite possibly read this book forever.' Just reading along as these two strangers got to know the simplest facts about each others lives. I was content and happy on that bus as long as I had these two characters to keep me company. But eventually they would have to return to 'real life' right? They can't stay on this bus forever. While Cam maybe be going nowhere, Andrew has a destination and once they get there what happens next??

   Traveling the country with Camryn and Andrew will go down as one of the best book experiences I have ever had. It is what comes after that has me completely tied in knots. As I said before, I will not tell how this book ends.  But I will tell you, that no matter how many tears you shed, how many boxes of Kleenex you go through you will be very glad you went along for the ride.....

Review: Skin by Kylie Scott

Skin

5 Stars

Six months since the zombie plague struck, former librarian Roslyn Stewart has been holed up in a school with eight other survivors. But now the shelves in the school canteen are bare. The stranger at the gate has supplies that will ensure the group’s ongoing survival, but at a cost. He wants a woman.

Nick is a man with a plan. He’ll treat Roslyn like a Queen, devoting the rest of his life to protecting and providing for her. In exchange, of course, for sexual favours. It’s the deal of the century given the state of the world. But Roslyn doesn't see it that way. The first chance she gets she attacks the ex-army man and attempts to escape, forcing Nick to contain her. And so begins his awkward courtship of the woman, with her chained to the bed for security reasons.

Chained like a dog and forced to spend her every waking moment with a creep, albeit a good looking one, Ros is determined to escape. When circumstances force them to band together against a common enemy their very survival depends on their ability to learn to trust each other. An uneasy partnership develops, but can a relationship with such a difficult beginning ever have a future?

The hotly anticipated sequel to Flesh, Skin is set in the same universe with a different set of characters.

 My Thoughts; Kylie has done it again! She has once again proven that love can happen during the Zombie apocalypse.

  When I first began reading I was a little bummed because I missed the characters from Flesh (book one) but I quickly became infatuated with the new characters and fell right into the 'new' story. I said after reading Flesh, "Being a woman during the apocalypse is going to be a double edge sword." Females are the most sought after commodity on the planet so depending on the circumstances, this can be both good and bad. When it is bad it is very BAD. Not everyone is nice, not everyone want to treat a female like a queen.

  Ros is so pig headed and strong willed that protecting her is almost impossible. Nick matches her pig headedness and strong will tit for tat and has a determination that outshines Ros on any day. He has vowed to protect her at any cost. And earning her trust it the thing that seems most important to him. Basically BUYING her with a van full of food wasn't exactly the best first step in their crazy relationship. (haha) But it was definitely a start!!

  I really enjoyed this book, I hope to see more like these for Kylie Scott in the future.


If you haven't read book one in this series give it a read, I think you might just like it :-)

Review: The Watcher by Lisa Voisin

4.5 Stars

   Millennia ago, he fell from heaven for her. Can he face her without falling again?

   Fascinated with ancient civilizations, seventeen-year-old Mia Crawford dreams of becoming an archaeologist. She also dreams of wings—soft and silent like snow—and somebody trying to steal them.

   When a horrible creature appears out of thin air and attacks her, she knows Michael Fontaine is involved, though he claims to know nothing about it. Secretive and aloof, Michael evokes feelings in Mia that she doesn’t understand. Images of another time and place haunt her. She recognizes them—but not from any textbook.

   In search of the truth, Mia discovers a past life of forbidden love, jealousy and revenge that tore an angel from Heaven and sent her to an early grave. Now that her soul has returned, does she have a chance at loving that angel again? Or will an age-old nemesis destroy them both?

Ancient history is only the beginning

   My thoughts;  I am in love. As a huge fan of  Paranormal YA this was everything that I love. Forbidden love, good vs evil and so much more. For anyone who loved Twilight and The Mortal Instruments this just might be a perfect book for you.

   Michael and Mia have a bond that runs as deep as their soul. But how do you love someone when it is forbidden. What do you do when loving someone could cost you everything?

   I am finding it hard to write this review and stick to my NO SPOILER policy. I like for readers to experience every moment in a book as they are reading it.

  When Mia first sees Michael she is drawn to him, and he just seems to be everywhere. She can't escape him. Michael is constantly pushing her away only to pull her right back in again. Enter bad boy extraordinaire, Damiel. Nothing like competition to get a guys attention, right? Well there just may be more to Damiel than meets the eye. Mia isn't interested in Damiel but at the same time she just can't seem to resist. Friendship are made, hearts are broken, demons are slain.

  If you are a fan of paranormal YA you will not be disappointed.
