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!

A Hell's Lovers MC: Grayson | Riggs | Cain by Crimson Syn

You can find my review for the first 'A Hell's Lovers MC: Wolf' right here. 

I would suggest taking a look at my review on the first book to make more sense of the following 3.

Grayson Book 2:

Summary by Goodreads:

She’s a wildcat in bed and she’s driving me insane!
Ever since that first night I can’t get enough of Rahyne Andrews.
Her kisses, her body, her moans, drive me crazy. I can’t seem to say no to her.
My only problem is, that she doesn’t seem to be interested in more than my body.
And I’m not about to have my control taken away from me.
She either bends to my will, or I’m walking.

Grayson Carter is everything I ever dreamed of and more.
He’s built like a rock and knows how to satisfy my every need.
But the last thing I want is to have another failed relationship.
Especially, when it involves a member of the Hell’s Lovers.
I’m the one in control, I’m always in control…
So why is it that Grayson Carter is the only man who has ever made me beg for more.

Freeze by Kaitlyn Davis

Summary by Kaitlyn Davis AKA The Author:

Locked up doesn't mean locked in.

Pandora Scott is in jail...again. Everyone she once loved betrayed her...again. And some of the most powerful people in the world want her dead...yes, again. Sound familiar? But if there's one thing Pandora is good at, it's wriggling her way out of life or death situations, and this time is no different. Armed with her ability to disappear and aided by the mysterious Sam, Pandora's got a plan. Escape the most secure prison in the world. Evade the most powerful trackers on the planet. Forget every word that Jax has ever told her. And figure out how to change one teeny tiny thing--fate. Easy, right? Well...doable, at least.

Lola by Melissa Scivner Love

I am back guys and i've missed you so much, so many books to rant about, so little time. Here is a book from Blogging for Books, go check it out!

Summary By Blogging For Books: 

Lola plays hostess at a barbecue thrown by her boyfriend, Garcia, leader of the Crenshaw Six, a small but up-and-coming gang in gritty South Central Los Angeles. Lola brings coffee and cookies to El Coleccionista, a midlevel member of the Mexican cartel, who is offering Garcia and his gang a chance to prove themselves. What no one suspects is that Lola is the true leader of the Crenshaw Six and is far more dangerous than she seems. At once a hardened criminal mastermind and a vulnerable woman—fiercely ambitious and utterly devoted to protecting her own—Lola is fascinating, complex, and utterly unique. As the Crenshaw Six is plunged further into a world of high-stakes betrayal and brutal violence, Lola's skills and leadership become their only hope of survival.

Interview with Amy Balog

Hi guys this is my first interview with an author I am super excited to welcome Amy Balog the author of Black, White And Red to my humble blog. Anyways here is a mini bio to get us started.

Mini Bio

Amy Balog was born in Hungary in 1991 and has been living in London, England since 2011. ​She has always been drawn to the dark and incomprehensible. Her main inspiration for writing comes from surrealist and expressionist art, eastern and western philosophy, and experimental music and cinema. She also has a strong interest in psychology, mental illnesses and dreams. She has a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences and a master's in Science, Technology and Society. After working as a science journalist and later a medical editor, she realized that all she really wanted to do was write fiction. 

Interview 

What was the hardest part of writing this book?

The hardest part was writing the gory parts. I'm a lot more into the psychological aspects of horror than the graphic presentation of violence, when it comes to both reading and writing. Having said that, one of my objectives when writing this book was to get out of my comfort zone, and conceiving the bloody scenes had turned out to be an exciting mental experiment.

What character in your book are you least likely to get along with?

Vincent and George – the former because he doesn’t believe dreams are important, and the latter because he doesn’t think René Magritte was a great painter.

Are any of the characters you create based on you? Or your personal experiences?

Both Jessica and Milla express some of my views and opinions during their conversations, especially when they discuss the nature of dreams and reality. However, I wouldn’t say that either of their personalities is a good reflection of mine. On the other hand, most of the male characters are based on people I have encountered in my life. I hope they don’t recognize themselves, because they probably wouldn’t be happy about being murdered!

Did you have any alternative endings to this book?

I did consider making the ending a little less obscure, but gave up on the idea pretty quickly. After all, one of the things I love the most about writing is the potential to make people think!

How many unpublished and half-finished books do you have?

When I start something I like to finish it, so I don’t have any half-finished pieces of work. I’m currently looking for a publisher for my first full-length novel, Sleeping Village, which I’ve written over the past two years. It’s a story about hope, despair, captivity, injustice and liberation. The protagonist, Klara, refuses to be confined by her environment, so she has learned to seek refuge in her dreams. She lives in a world where most people accept their fate, but she has a fire that burns inside her: a desire to be free and to know what is on the other side of the wall. The village, called Nurvote (from the German "nur volk", meaning "the only people"), was founded by some of the Nazi leaders who had escaped to South America before the end of the Second World War. However, the oppressed and impoverished community has been taught an alternative version of history, and they do not even know that there are people living on the other side. Klara is the first person to venture out, in her dreams (or reality – she cannot tell the difference after a while), into what she hopes is a beautiful free world. But she is greatly disappointed with what she finds outside.

What drew you to mental illnesses?

I’ve always been fascinated by altered states of consciousness and alternative perceptions of reality. Exploring mental illnesses is only one of the many ways to show how fragile any society’s collective sense of truth is.

What kind of research do you do, and how long do you spend researching before beginning a book?

For Black, White and Red, I did a lot of research on serial killers – a subject that really fascinated me in my late teens, when I wrote this book (but didn’t publish it until recently). I watched a lot of interviews to get an idea of the way they think, behave, and what they perceive as their motivation for their crimes. I’ve also been reading a lot about dreams and mental illnesses since an early age, but I wouldn’t call that research, since that’s something I’ve always been doing out of interest. On the other hand, for my recently finished novel, Sleeping Village, I’d done a couple of months’ research on Germany during the Second World War, as well as the old Norse/Germanic religion.

What do you like to read in your free time?

I read a lot of philosophy, poetry and non-fiction for inspiration. My favorite authors are Comte du Lautréamont, Friedrich Nietzsche, Edgar Allan Poe and Charles Baudelaire.

What do you think about the ebook revolution?

From the reader’s perspective, it’s probably the greatest invention in publishing since Gutenberg’s press! It just makes all forms of written work so incredibly easy to access. But I personally still prefer to turn actual pages, and I love the smell of books. For authors, it has made it much easier to get our work out to potential readers, but it hasn’t made making a living out of writing any easier. But then again, being a writer has never exactly been the safest career choice!

What is your writing style? 

I would describe my writing style as poetic and symbolic – or, at least, that’s what I’m aiming at! Although I write prose almost exclusively, my style has been most influenced by symbolist and surrealist poetry. I like using poetic devices that are less commonly seen in short stories and novels.

What is your favorite part of the book?

The ending, because that’s the part that will make the reader think the most about their own perception of reality.

Summary By AmyBalog.com:

Jessica Walker can't remember anything prior to the last two years of her life. She's spent these two years driving aimlessly from city to city and country to country. Since she has no money for hotels, she spends most nights with different men she meets in bars on the road. Not only do these men satisfy her accommodation and sexual needs,
but also her intense hunger, which is not for ordinary food...

She's tormented by gruesome nightmares and visions about murdering everyone
she sleeps with and then consuming some of their flesh. And when she wakes up,
the men are always gone - they either give her a reason for their absence or
she makes it up herself.

Jessica's life takes an unexpected turn when she has an accident and her car is completely wrecked. She continues her journey with the girl in the other car: Milla. They fall in a passionate love, and Milla, who's an artist, creates a world where only the two of them exist. They travel to this other dimension through Milla's drawings and the art they create together. Jessica is happier with Milla than she's ever hoped to be, but she has a problem that keeps her frustrated... She's unable to experience the height of sexual pleasure without having someone else's blood all over herself.
Are her nightmares reality? Is reality just a dream? She hopes that the answer is in
a mysterious envelope, which she refuses to open until the moment of final
desperation arrives...

My Thoughts:
This story was definitely original, It's very detailed, it actually felt like it was much longer than it actually was. The characters were well built, the world building was pretty good. I think that the most trouble that I had with this book was trying to figure out what was really going on. The ending was a major twist in my opinion. I loved the reality-hallucination. Overall it was a great read, confusing and yet still very charming, I will most likely read this book again just for the hell of it in the near future.

Chasing His Vampire By Tiffany Allee

First and foremost I found a new website My Book Boyfriends okay so its more for women (Sorry guys) but this is where this book came from Ladies makes sure you all go and check it out.

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.

To love is to trust, and trusting your sworn enemy is easier said than done. Especially when something in the dark is hunting them both.

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.

Rot & Ruin By Jonathan Maberry

Summary By Goodreads:
In the zombie-infested, post-apocalyptic America where Benny Imura lives, every teenager must find a job by the time they turn fifteen or get their rations cut in half. Benny doesn't want to apprentice as a zombie hunter with his boring older brother Tom, but he has no choice. He expects a tedious job whacking zoms for cash, but what he gets is a vocation that will teach him what it means to be human.

The Fifth Petal By Brunonia Barry

Summary By Goodreads:
Salem’s chief of police, John Rafferty, now married to gifted lace reader Towner Whitney, investigates a 25-year-old triple homicide dubbed “The Goddess Murders,” in which three young women, all descended from accused Salem witches, were slashed one Halloween night. Aided by Callie Cahill, the daughter of one of the victims who has returned to town, Rafferty begins to uncover a dark chapter in Salem’s past. Callie, who has always been gifted with premonitions, begins to struggle with visions she doesn’t quite understand and an attraction to a man who has unknown connections to her mother’s murder. Neither believes that the main suspect, Rose Whelan, respected local historian and sometime-aunt to Callie, is guilty of murder or witchcraft. But exonerating Rose might mean crossing paths with a dangerous force. Were the women victims of an all-too-human vengeance, or was the devil raised in Salem that night? And if they cannot discover what truly happened, will evil rise again? 

Romeo and Juliet A play By William Shakespeare

Summary By Goodreads:
In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a world of violence and generational conflict in which two young people fall in love and die because of that love. The story is rather extraordinary in that the normal problems faced by young lovers are here so very large. It is not simply that the families of Romeo and Juliet disapprove of the lover's affection for each other; rather, the Montagues and the Capulets are on opposite sides in a blood feud and are trying to kill each other on the streets of Verona. Every time a member of one of the two families dies in the fight, his relatives demand the blood of his killer. Because of the feud, if Romeo is discovered with Juliet by her family, he will be killed. Once Romeo is banished, the only way that Juliet can avoid being married to someone else is to take a potion that apparently kills her, so that she is buried with the bodies of her slain relatives. In this violent, death-filled world, the movement of the story from love at first sight to the union of the lovers in death seems almost inevitable.

The Giver By Lois Lowry

Summary By Goodreads:

This haunting story centers on Jonas, who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity and contentment. Not until he's given his life assignment as the Receiver of Memory does he begin to understand the dark, complex secrets behind his fragile community.
