Love Bites by TL Clark

Summary by Goodreads:
Shakira had never felt at home growing up in Surrey, but as soon as she entered the quaint Welsh village she knew she belonged. Maybe it was because of the welcoming villagers. Or perhaps it was the presence of the others whom she sensed nearby; the ones she saw in her dreams, with their strange glowing eyes.

Fate is not always kind. It gives with one hand and takes with the other. There is a reason she didn’t grow up with her own kind.

A rich tale of witchcraft, fae, sorcery, elinefae and dragons; this is a story for all who dare to believe.

Frost book review
Freeze book review and tour

Summary by Goodreads:

When you fall for the devil, you're bound to get burned.

Pandora Scott's world has blown up once again, but this time she's learned her lesson--saving the world isn't a job she can do solo. She needs friends. But when her strongest ally also happens to be the boy who shattered her heart, it's not as easy as it sounds. Especially since the person she has to destroy might just be the love of her life. With her fate hanging in the balance, Pandora's got to make a choice. Forgive? Forget? Fight? Or falter? But everything changes when she realizes that the people she thought were heroes might be villains, and the good guys aren't always as trustworthy as they seem...

 My Thoughts:

 Getting into this one was a bit of a slow start, I expected a little more in the beginning. More detail as to what happened in the end of the last book would have been nice, eventually you do get the details but it isn’t quite brought to life. After getting past the first few chapters the book goes into more vivid detail. The twist and turns of the third book certainly surpass the second. Following Pandora to find herself and who she was is probably my favorite part of this book. Overall this was written with exceptional detail and I look forward to her 4th book come winter.

Character Inspiration

Name: Pandora Scott (Dory to a select few!)

Occupation: Thief, female Robin-Hood, general troublemaker…

Who Is She? Pandora is the main character in my Midnight Ice series! She’s a vampire with the ability to disappear who’s currently on the run from the supernatural police force she once belonged to! Oh, and her ex-boyfriend is chasing her. As is a mysterious (and annoyingly attractive) new stalker. Oh, and, well, the most powerful vampire in New York City. But she’s fine. She’s got it all under control…sort of. 

Loves: Blood, money, taking overly cocky vampires down a notch, fast getaways, not-so-fast getaways for that matter, proving people wrong, and…animals. What? They’re adorable. Oh, and also using her ability to disappear to totally freak people out. BOO!

Hates: Losing at anything, the sound of her alarm clock, people who underestimate her, and, well, her ex-boyfriend Jax (and the fact that she doesn’t really hate him at all, as much as she tells herself otherwise). 

Guilty Pleasures: Going to the zoo, eavesdropping on other people’s conversations, and punching Jax when he really, really deserves it (which is almost always).

Name: Jackson Rodriguez, but just Jax to most!

Occupation: Tracker for the supernatural police force he was born into, and aspiring musician on the sly. 

Who Is He? Jax is Pandora’s ex-boyfriend and he personifies everything she ran away from—a life of boundaries and duties, without room for personal choices. He’s hunting her down to bring her back home, even though all the love he still holds in his heart is shouting at him to let her be free. 

Loves: Proving Pandora wrong, his old beaten up guitar (a gift from his father), taking bad guys off the streets, and the old treehouse tucked in the woods behind his house that makes him think of his first (and only) love. 

Hates: The fact that Pandora is usually right, and that in his world, duty means everything, even more than the secret dreams he holds within his heart.  

Guilty Pleasures: Pushing Pandora to her limit and jamming out to the guitar solo from “Hotel California”

Name: You can call him Sam…just Sam…

Occupation: Wouldn’t you like to know?

Who Is He? Sam is a mysterious vamp who is currently stalking Pandora—oh, and he’s the only other person in the world she’s met with the ability to disappear. Can he be trusted? Probably not. Is he annoyingly alluring? Hell yes. 

Loves: When he looks at Pandora and sees a little spark in the back of her eyes whispering that some part of her remembers who he was…who they were. 

Hates: Jax and the unrelenting passage of time.  

Guilty Pleasures: Popping in unexpected, because being invisible has its perks!

Ewan Pendle and the White Wraith by Shaun Hume

Summary by Goodreads:
Ewan Pendle was weird. Really weird. At least, that's what everyone told him. Then again, being able to see monsters that no one else could wasn't exactly normal ...

Thinking he has been moved off to live with his eleventh foster family, Ewan is instead told he is a Lenitnes, one of an ancient race of peoples who can alone see the real 'Creatures' which inhabit the earth. He is taken in by Enola, the mysterious sword carrying Grand Master of Firedrake Lyceum, a labyrinth of halls and rooms in the middle of London where other children, just like Ewan, go to learn the ways of the Creatures.

The Order of The Senery, Books1 & 2 By L.D. Rose

Releasing the Demons By L.D. Rose (Book #1)

Summary By Goodreads: 

Blaze Knight has been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren't over yet. 

Five years after Blaze was maimed by Cyrus Chimola, a powerful vampire with a penchant for torture, he's still trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered life. As a genetically engineered mercenary with the ability to bend fire to his will and to see in infrared, Blaze's mission is to protect what's left of humanity. When Chimola and his crew return to the Bronx gunning for Blaze's blood, Blaze is forced to face the demons of his past. Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective who manages to steal his heart and save his life in more ways than one.

Motivated by her sister's gruesome death, Valerie has made it her life's goal to bury every vampire in the ground where they belong. When she brings in Blaze Knight for suspected murder, she discovers he's not only innocent, he isn't a man at all-he's a half-vampire hybrid working with a band of brothers for the U.S. military. Valerie has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she quickly falls headlong into Blaze's life, a life full of darkness and horror she can't even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can't seem to let go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion unlike anything she's ever known. 

In a world where the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will find danger at every turn, risking everything they've come to know and love, including one another.

My Thoughts:

This was a good read, as my faithful reads know I love vampires, anyways the characters themselves were interesting to get to know, the world building was okay. I liked the idea behind the book it had the dark world charm to it that seems to never get old. Overall it was enjoyable I have missed the paranormal world of vampires over the weeks.

Black Bullet By L.D. Rose (Book #2)

Summary By Goodreads:

Fledgling vampire Jonathan Kerr has just met his match.

Not even his past life as a former Marine and FBI agent could prepare him for the battle against the monster inside him, struggling to take hold. After an old nemesis of the Senary surfaces in Brooklyn, unleashing chaos and terror in the battered borough, Jon sets out to take him down. Instead, he ends up with far more than he bargained for when he clashes with the beautiful half-vampire hybrid, Lawan Knight.

After escaping near death and suffering unspeakable horror at the hands of vampires, Lawan trusts no one, regardless of species. In between bouts of drunken stupor, her only goal is to exterminate all those who've wronged her, including every member of Jon's vampire bloodline. But Jon's soulful eyes and quick smile crawls under her skin, transforming her black and white world into a hazy shade of gray.

As the days rapidly grow darker, Jon and Lawan turn to one another, but their inner demons threaten to tear them apart. The only way either of them will survive is if they overcome their greatest fear--

Love.

Summary by Goodreads:
After the world ends, David believes the love of his life dead. But while hunting a vampire, he finds Blair. But Blair isn't human anymore, and David never was.

Letting Go By Maria Thompson Corle

So The first thing I want to do is apologize my gmail account has been driving me nuts, any ways what happened was, it logged me out and when i went log back in the damn thing made me change my password and then it went on about how It had been hacked and what not, so apparently I was hacked! so Authors and anyone who's sent in a request I have not seen my emails yet so as soon as i am done with post I will finally get to my emails. Way to blabber on a Thursday afternoon huh?

Summary By Goodreads:
Even though she lives hundreds of miles away, when Langston, who dreams of being a chef, meets Cecile, a Juilliard-trained pianist, he is sure that his history of being a sidekick, instead of a love interest, is finally over. Their connection is real and full of potential for a deeper bond, but the obstacles between them turn out to be greater than distance. Can these busy, complicated people be ready for each other at the same time? Does it even matter? Before they can answer these questions, each must do battle with the ultimate demon-fear.

Told in a witty combination of standard prose, letters, emails, and diary entries, LETTING GO is a long-distance love story that also examines race, religion, and the difficult choices we make following our passions. From the Great White North to the streets of New York City to the beaches of Bermuda, LETTING GO is a journey of longing, betrayal, self-discovery and hope you will never forget.

Ensnared By Rita Stradling

Hi Guys,
not my usual for Monday Share Day but It was either a review or a babbling mess of words.

Summary By NetGalley:

[This novel contains adult situations and is only suitable for readers who are 18+]

A Near Future Retelling of Beauty and the Beast

Alainn’s father is not a bad man. He’s a genius and an inventor. When he’s hired to create the robot Rose, Alainn knows taking the money is a mistake. Rose acts like a human. She looks exactly like Alainn. But something in her comes out wrong.

To save her father from a five-year prison sentence, Alainn takes Rose’s place. She says goodbye to the sun and goes to live in a tower no human is allowed to enter. She becomes the prisoner of a man no human is allowed to see.

Believing that a life of servitude lies ahead, Alainn finds a very different fate awaits her in the company of the strange, scarred recluse.

My Thoughts:
So when I picked out this book the only thing I actually saw was Beauty and the Beast. I actually really love Disney and fairy tales so retelling's are my second favorite (Yes typical girl I know) Anyways Ensnared was far out there, futuristic, it was an ok retelling it had all the basic points, although I can't say it was my favorite, it lacked world building in some places, the characters were different from the original I didn't expect them to be the same, I did expect similarities, although there weren't really any except for the Beast. Overall it's well written and is way better as a stand alone instead of a Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Tides of Change By Susan MacIver

Going past the revolting development of Fridays events, The book I have for you today Tides of Change By Susan MacIver, I simply wanted to thank her and her and my associate Jane Ryder for the free printed copy the book.

Summary By NetGalley: Tides of Change, Book One of The Atlantis Chronicles, begins far beneath the wild beauty of the Aegean Sea. Having survived one horrific cataclysm, a society as ancient as time now thrives untouched and undiscovered in blue waters once ruled by Poseidon

Unknown to any but their Healer, a devastating secret threatens Atlantis with yet another extinction event. The matriarchal healing line descended from Poseidon no longer has an heir. In a desperate bid to ensure the continuance of their small underwater community, Na-Kai eva Evenor, Most Sovereign Healer of Atlantis, unleashes a power the Healers have been expressly forbidden to use from the beginning of time. 

Rising from the hidden depths of Atlantis, Na-Kai’s telekinetic web of energy shimmers to a halt atop the jagged, volcanic cliffs of the exotic Greek island of Santorini.

Compelled from her hotel room to the very edge of the dark, windswept cliffs, Daria Caiden is trapped in the grasp of Na-Kai's relentless thought-form and pulled deep into the sapphire waters below. Floating in midnight quiet, she releases her last breath, and waits to die. 

In one shattering moment, events are set into motion that will bring about catastrophic change no one could foresee.

My Thoughts:

Susan MacIver blew my mind away with this book. The detail that went into the world building was near perfect. I felt connected to her characters and the story by its self was mind grasping. I will admit though that it did take a couple of chapters to get there but once you do it physically pains to put the book down. Its been awhile since i felt that much for a book I am definitely going to put this on my new year re read list. 

Charmed By Billionaire Boss & Play Boy with Benefits By Brittney White

Charmed By Billionaire Boss And Play Boy with Benefits

Summary: I sadly couldn't find one these books are exclusive.

What You Don't Know By S. Airplane

Summary: Couldn't find one! Tangled (Adult 18+) Fan Fiction

My Thoughts:
This totally ruined my views of Disney, it has lot of mistakes in the text but was still "readable". This is a FAN FIC (Fan Fiction), it correlates well with the original Disney version. It paints a good picture and its a great story by its self. Now what I personally didn't like was the way the characters were portrayed, Rapunzel in the movie was far from stupid in fact she read an endless amount of books and more than anything this really ruined that, it made her look ditsy. Even though shes young and naive about certain things, it felt like the author really tried to push that she was stupid. As for Flynn Rider/ Eugene Fitzherbert I actually liked what they did with his characters they gave him a lot of background that wasn't there in the movie that makes it a much better story. Overall Its a well written fanfic,

Frost By Kaitlyn Davis

Summary By Goodreads:
Life's tough for a vampire thief on the run—just ask Pandora Scott, she knows. Four years ago she ran away from home after everyone she loved betrayed her. But now her annoyingly grown up (and handsome) ex boyfriend is stalking her, begging her to return. A mysterious vamp with a particularly dangerous (and sexy) stare keeps popping unexpectedly into her life. The extremely powerful head vampire of New York is hunting her down because she may or may not have broken into his highly-secure, highly-secretive personal vault. And the fate she's been trying to outrun? Well, it's about to catch up. Because even a super-speedy vamp with the ability to disappear can't escape her own destiny.
