Jane Eyre comes to life

I really loved this story. I admit I'm a huge Jane Austen fan so when I read the blurb for A Breath of Eyre I knew I had to read it. Mont takes an intriguing premise and breathes fresh air on it. Great writing and pacing keeps...

Another fun interative tale from Coliliquy

I really loved this latest interactive ebook from Coliloquy. In this story Celia ends up moving to the hometown of her recently killed father. Once there she finds a mysterious letter in her grandmother's mailbox. The letter is over 150 years old. What's very strange is...

Fun New Story

I love Heidi Kling's writing. I loved her debut story SEA and also a short story in the First Time anthology. I couldn't wait to read her new story WITCH'S TALE. This series is different as it has an interactive feature where readers decide where the story...

Lives up to the hype

I'd heard lots about Amanda Hocking and was curious to see what everyone was talking about. Everyone knows I love a good paranormal so I was excited I was able to get a copy of her book SWITCHED. I was intrigued with the premise of a girl that finds...

Amazing Tale

I’m a huge fan of YA sci-fi books. I loved Across the Universe and couldn’t wait for the follow-up book. Some sequels fall flat and fail to live up to the hype. Let me tell you though, A Million Suns lives up to its hype and more....

Cross Over Paranormal for fans of Diana Gabaldon and Harry Potter

I love paranormals and A Discovery of Witches doesn't disappoint. This book has a Diana Gabaldon feel to it without all the graphic images. It has cross over appeal too. What I really loved about this story was how Matthew, the 1500 year old vampire,...

Captive Violet Eyes

Living Violet is not just another run of the mill paranormal. Reed gives us a smart and at times hilarious heroine who doesn't wait for others to help her out. Samara Marshall is independent and not one to fall in love with just anyone. When hot Caleb...

Fun Romantic Tale

I really enjoyed this story! At first Sophie is excited when her father tells her he's tentatively a count. Her excitement quickly changes when she finds out her so-called newly found French title only goes to her brother Sam and not her. So she ends up making...

Teen Pregnancy Tale

I have to admit, I'm somewhat picky on books that deal with teenage pregnancy. Our son's birthmother was fourteen when she had him. My own sister had her baby at age eighteen and decided to keep him. I've also been to numerous birthmother panels where teens have...

Great Collection of African-American Tales

I really loved this latest graphic novel that is filled with adaptions of stories and poems from African-American authors. The novel is colorful and there's something for everyone. One of my favorites has to be TWO AMERICANS by Florence Lewis Bentley which is about two soldiers during World...

Satisfying Conclusion

I really love this series! Darina has to help some recent dead teens solve their murders before they can pass to the Other Side. Darina has been doing this and with this book she now has to do something she's been dreading more than anything. She has...

New Dystopia Tale

Legend's plot is similar to the other dystopias out there but it does have some qualities that I really enjoyed. First, I loved how Lu was able to show us a futuristic world that just happens to be in Los Angeles. I've lived in Southern California for over...

Historical with a paranormal twist

I love YA historicals. I'm also a huge fan of anything Titanic related. I was excited to receive a copy of this book to review. Fateful is thrilling and each page captivates you into wanting to find out what happens to our heroine and the man she loves....

One Fast Ride

From the very first page I was hooked. The writing is gripping and grabs you by the collar and won't let you go. This dystopia is a world where any kind of paranormal ability is outlawed. Killing Paranormals is like a holiday event. Caitlyn is fearful for not...

Amazing Dystopia Tale

I admit it. Some of the recent dystopias have been blending into one similar tale. I'd heard some amazing things about THE PLEDGE so I went and signed up for the free sample for my Nook Color. Let's just say I was blown away with the...
