Book Review - Unauthorized, By Lisa Ladew (And a blog update)

So things have gotten a bit crazy with my real life job.  It has been causing me to have long days and work overtime.  Due to that for a while we are pulling back on the book tours and the reviews some.  I have some books now that I need to get reviews out on, they were already finished prior to the craziness.  For a while we will be cutting out tours to two a month, and we will be trying to get a couple cover reveals in there as well.  I am just too swamped with the work thing and I am finding that I am not enjoying my reading as much because I have to hurry through the books to get a review out.

I am going get one book review out of the way right now.  I have a few more to do from books I have previously read.  I am hoping that we can get back on the review and tour track in a couple months, but with my job and the tiredness I feel when I get home, I will have to see how things are going.

Without any more issues....



Book Title: Unauthorized Affair
Author: Lisa Ladew
Publishing Date: November 10, 2014
Page/Word Count: 220 pages

BLURB:

This is a free romantic suspense book, the beginning of a romantic suspense series, although this book with this couple reads as a standalone.

Twenty-six year old Jen Mansko finds out the hard way that she's too trusting. Her apartment ransacked, her bank account emptied, and her heart broken, Jen has had enough and high-tails it to the only place she can think of where she will be welcomed – her brother's house.

Anxious for a fresh start, Jen does something completely out of character and decides to become a cop. Soon, the athletic beauty with the striking-pink locks captures the attention of Sergeant Hunter Foley. When she is vetted for an undercover assignment, Jen dares another feat and quickly wins the approval of the powers that be.

Once embedded in the covert operation, yet another unlikely suitor is drawn to her. With two men on opposite sides of the law vying for her attention, Jen is forced to make a choice or risk having all she's worked so hard for ripped away from her.

This is a spin-off of the Edge of the Heat Series. The characters from the Edge of the Heat will weave lightly in and out of the Unauthorized series.

This is a standalone novel, however, there is a cliffhanger at the end that involves the H/h of the next book.

Heat level: moderate. suspense or thriller level: moderate. Some swearing. 18+



--------------------------------------------------------------------

Pros: Great characters, loved the story
Cons: I want more Coleton
Overall rating: Highly Recommended

Impressions: Great ideas, story flowed, characters are well developed

Review:

So I got this book as a free one from Amazon.  I am so glad I grabbed it.  I loved the whole idea and the characters were just right.  You could tell that the author knew her characters well enough when she was writing.  I have found that there are times when an author will have a series going and make a spin off that just doesn't work right.  Not this time.  This book is great!

I love that Jen is going through personal changes in this book.  She is trusting and a bit naive but that all changes as you go.  Don't get me wrong, it's not a massive character change.  It's something little here and there for her.  She grows through out the book and I love that.  I think that she is a great lead female.

Let me just say, I want my own undercover cop now.  Hunter is strong, and he has a good head on his shoulders.  He keeps himself from getting involved with Jen, knowing it is wrong for him to do anything with her while they are working.  He is a great male lead and plays off Jen wonderfully.

I am very excited to read the next one, and I was excited that the second book is on Kindle Unlimited.  I have already picked it up and will be reading it soon!

Book review - The Haunting, By E.M. MacCallum

Have I mentioned how much I love that I get to work with some great authors doing my reviews?  If I have not, let me tell you now.  There are some great authors I have blogged books for and they have given me some of the best books to read.  I can't wait to see what comes next from these authors.

That being said, I have the third book in the series I recently reviewed.  The first book was The Demon Grave.

Let's get on with the review...

Book Title: The Haunting
Author: E.M. MacCallum
Publishing Date: August 13, 2015
Page/Word Count: 325 pages

BLURB:

One by one, they are losing the battle.

With the shock of death ringing in their ears, the group has to face one final test.

The Challenge is a classic haunted house and the creatures within are out to twist truths and reveal dark secrets.

Nora has to overcome her strange familiarity with the Demon's Grave as well as her infatuation with the demonic overlord, Damien. But, not everyone wants her there, and she could end up fighting for more than just her friend's freedom.
 

Pros: Great characters, great story line
Cons: The story doesn't need to end!  
Overall rating: Highly recommended!

Impressions: Great book, part of a great series

Review:

Alright, so I got very lucky with this one.  I was asked to read this book in exchange for an honest review.  I was beyond excited when the author sent me this book to read.  I loved the first two and was giggly when the author e-mailed me and asked me to read this book.  I read it as soon as I could!

This was a great way to wrap up the two previous books.  The characters are well developed and I love how they interact with each other.  The chemistry between them, be it good or bad, was great and I wish more books had characters that worked together.  

I still have a mad crush on Damien.  Until I find a new book boyfriend, he is going to have to settle for me, haha.  He is just a great character and I love how he interacts with Nora.  They have this relationship that leaves you wondering what is going to happen to them.  The ending to the book leaves me hoping that I get to see more of them, to see what happens.  I am not going to give it away here, just know I want more!!

The book was not rushed and this author timed things perfectly with this series.  She didn't seem to rush things, which meant that if she couldn't get to it in one book, she put it in the next.  I love that, because you shouldn't have to rush from point A to point B.  You need to flesh out your story and E.M. did that with this book, with the whole series.

If you have not read these book yet, I suggest you grab this one, and the other two, and start reading.  I warn you though, you will not get to put them down until you are done.  They are that good!  I read this one again in one night, like I did the first two.

Book Review - Redemption, By R.K. Ryals

So I am part of several of those free book/cheap book groups.  It is always fun to get the e-mails with new free or cheap books for me to pick up.  I look forward to seeing what is available for me. I have found some great books and I made the choice to start reviewing them as I can.  I have others to review on certain dates, but sometimes it's nice to get something in between.

We are also looking at starting up a podcast as well.  I am nervous but I am very interested in doing some kind of audio on books and such.  We shall see though, I am very hesitant to talk to myself, lol.

For your reading pleasure....






Book Title: Redemption
Author: R.K. Ryals
Publishing Date: October 11, 2011
Page/Word Count: 322 Pages


BLURB:

A fateful car accident, a strange Abbey ruled by an even stranger Abbess, an insane Demon, a world where right and wrong becomes dangerously twisted, and a confident, rebellious teenager . . . .

Dayton Blainey is a foul-mouthed, grief-stricken young woman forced to live with a religiously eccentric aunt who favors her moral older sister. But when Dayton's life becomes intertwined with a dangerous stranger, she suddenly finds herself at the center of a war fought since the beginning of time.

Trapped between what she believes is right, and a forbidden attraction, Dayton must come to terms with betrayal and her surprising lineage to stop a war before it even begins.

Pros: Great story, great characters
Cons: Seemed rushed in some areas
Overall rating: Good book, would recommend it

Impressions: Good characters, rushed story

Review:

So I picked this up as a free book on a list I got my e-mail.  I am glad I did.  I really enjoyed reading it.  It was definitely something that fit into my normal reading lists.  

The characters are great, and let me just say that I loved that the main characters was named Dayton.  It's not a normal name for a character and I love that about this book.  The names aren't just the normal, run of the mill names.   She is a good base character as well.  She is strong when she needs to be but at the same time she has her vulnerabilities.  You want your characters to be real, not some perfect person.

This book was a great start to this series though.  The idea behind it was well thought out but I think that the author wanted to get more into the first novel and pushed to hard in some areas.  That is why it felt rushed for me.  I think that if she had really planned out the series she could have stretched it out more.  That is just my opinion.  I know that she has a whole series now, but this was still rushed to me.

Stars: 4 out of 5 stars

Book Review - The Demon's Grave and Midnight Ruling, By E.M. MacCallum

Lately I have been very lucky to be able to get some great books to read.  Today's reviews are no exceptions.  I got the first book and had to hunt down the second one.  So for tonight's reviewing pleasure you have two books!

On with the show...

Book #1







Book Title: The Demon's Grave
Author: E.M. MacCallum
Publishing Date: May 2015
Page/Word Count: 392 pages

BLURB:

When strange shadows and messages plague Nora's daily life she fears for her sanity. To escape questions from her family, Nora joins her friends on a weekend getaway. Despite not liking Aidan Birket, Nora finds his remote, Victorian house charming. Until they discover the marble doorway on the third floor and, against Nora's better judgment, they open it.

Drawn into an unfamiliar place called the Demon's Grave, the group face a charismatic demon and a set of Challenges. Six nightmarish realities for the six of them is the punishment. Those that make it to the end can go home, but those that don't will be his forever. Friendships are tested, secrets revealed and sacrifices will be made.

Nora battles zombies, doppelgängers, eyeless bikers, and the demon--whose interests are more than just a game of cat and mouse. If it's all in her head, then it should be easy. But, if not, it means the demon knows everything and her past and the death of her twin sister.
 

Pros: Excellent characters, excellent story
Cons: Need more books!
Overall rating: Highly, highly recommended!!

Impressions: Loved this book!  Excellent story and had to pick up the next one as soon as I was done with this one.

Review:

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)

I have no idea where to start with this review.  I loved this book and am so glad that I got to review it. From the get go I feel in love with the characters and the storyline/ideas.  It draws you in quickly and keeps you hooked.
Nora is a strong lead and I loved how she has to step up and be the strong person she doesn't think she is.  She is flawed and honestly I love the characters that are flawed.  She suffers from mental health issues and really that makes her more real for me. I think that when the main characters aren't perfect you get a real connection with them.

I do have to say that in this book I fell for the bad guy.  What can I say, he appeals to me.  Damien is strong and I think that he really doesn't want to do what he has to do, but he is following the rules.  He hints at things through out the book and even up until the end you don't get a full picture of him.  I love him though, and I was secretly hoping he was real and I could find him myself. :)

The book is well written and there are no issues with the flow and feel of things as you read through it all.  It was easy to follow and for once I didn't have to go back and read something to understand the next point in the book.  I love when I can just pick up a book and keep reading until I get to the end.

Book #2 






Book Title: Midnight Ruling
Author: E.M. MacCallum
Publishing Date: August 1, 2015
Page/Word Count: 263 pages

BLURB:

Being safe and at home has its downfalls. The subjects of media controversy, Nora and Aidan realize that they made a terrible mistake coming home. The only way to get their friends back is to visit Nora's murderous aunt in the asylum.

But when a skeptical group of students don't believe the media's story, they begin to follow Nora and Aidan where things go very wrong, very fast.

Without access to the Demon's Grave, their friends could be lost forever. But, with access, there could be a few new players in Damien's game, and with that comes death.

Pros: Excellent story, great next book in the series
Cons: Cliff hanger!!!
Overall rating: Highly, highly recommended

Impressions: I feel like the author is really working with this series and keeping it engaging.

Review:

So after I finished the first one I had to get the next one. As luck would have it, it was available through Kindle Unlimited and I got all giggly.  I finished it all in the same night.  I couldn't put it down.  I was sad when I got to the end of the book and realized I was going to have to wait for the next one.  :(

I love that Nora is becoming a different girl, stronger and more willing to do things she needs to do for her friends.  She is becoming a very strong, smart lead character.  I think that she will continue to gain strength and show what she can really do.

And Damien, what can I say about him?  He is still my current book crush and I can't wait to see what happens next with him.  We have to wonder if he and Nora have something happening to them that is beyond their control.  I would not be against this, but I would be jealous. :)

This book gives us more insight into what is going on with Nora and why things are happening the way they are.  It really helps flesh out the story more.

Book Review - When Lightning Strikes , By Kathleen Rovner

I think this is a week of Mondays, or at least it feels that way.  Just so much to do and not enough of me to get it all done.  Some days I just think that I spread myself too thin.  It happens, but let me tell you, I am not a fan of it.  I am exhausted.

That being said, I have been reading, a lot.  So there will be reviews coming, because, well, books!

On with the show....






BLURB:

Julie Marin is a talented dancer, and her family has the means to make sure she can live her dream. Her life is close to perfect—until the night she leaves practice late and gets attacked.

Then her world takes a terrifying turn. With no notice, her family has to pack up and move overnight. And they won’t even tell her why.

Now everyone around her has secrets—her brother, her parents, and the disturbingly alluring Lucas Black, a new teacher at her school. And there’s definitely something going on in the small town the Marins move to.

When Julie finds herself drawn to the arrogant but handsome Rory, nothing makes any sense. Is she just paranoid, or is she going crazy? Will these secrets destroy everything Julie has worked for—or destroy her as she fights against them?

A 300 page young adult fantasy with romantic suspense.
 
 
-------------------------------

Book Title: When Lightning Strikes
Author: Kathleen Rovner
Publishing Date: May 7, 2015
Page/Word Count: 217 pages

Pros: Great idea, great characters
Cons: got a little lost at times, some ideas didn't seem fully fleshed out
Overall rating: Good book

Impressions: Fasted paced from the get go, some spots were slow.  Some things were lacking a "body" if you will.

Review:

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)

So I had high hopes for this book.  The idea was great and I liked most of the characters. Unfortunately some parts just felt rushed or lacking in information. The idea behind the story was a well thought out idea, and I can tell that the author wanted to make sure it was done well.  Sadly I felt lost in some areas, like the idea was there but the words never made it to the page.

Julie was a good character, but I could not love her.  I just didn't feel like I connected with her.  I felt like she was annoying at times.  I feel like her part of the story was actually the parts that were lacking something for me.  I think she needed to be flashed out more. The parts of the book that I got the lost the most in involved her and her random trains of thought.

I think that with a little work this book could be a great one.  With a little fleshing out of things it cold become one of those series that everyone loves.  I just don't see that yet.

I loved the hanger at the end though.  That little tidbit was enough to make me want to know what happens next.  I am willing to give the next book in the series a try, with the hope that things get fleshed out better.

Book Review - The Darkest Frost, Volume One, By Tanya Holmes

So I have been doing some blog roaming.  I looked at other people's reviews and how they lay out.  They all seem so very professional, so I decided I would redo how I lay out the reviews a little bit.  I wanted things to seem a bit more like someone who knows what they are doing, even if I really never know what I am doing, lol.

That being said.......





BLURB:

When the ghost of her best friend begs for her help, psychic detective Denieve Knight goes undercover as a live-in domestic to catch a killer. She sets her sights on the most likely suspect: her friend’s mysterious employer, Doctor Braeden Frost.

Dubbed "Dr. Death" by the press, the notorious hematologist is linked to nineteen other suspicious fatalities—all are former patients. The brooding recluse is a man of many secrets, the darkest of which may be lurking beneath the leather gloves he never removes.

------------------------------


Book Title: The Darkest Frost, Volume One
Author: Tanya Holmes
Publishing Date: June 11, 2015
Page/Word Count: 83K

Pros: Great characters, engaging story
Cons: I hate but love the cliff hanger :)
Overall rating: Highly Recommended

Impressions: Great story flow and I was not able to put it down once I started reading it.  It left me wanting more, which means I am going to need that second volume, like yesterday. 

Review: Over all this book is a great book.  The characters are not the stiff, cold types.  You can love them, hate them, and can relate to them at times.  This book kept me engaged the whole time.  I just couldn't put the book down, or rather the Kindle.  I had to know what would happen next.

I knew we were going to be left with a cliff hanger.  I will be honest, I love them because I always get more of my favorite characters from the authors when they do that to us.  I just hope that I don't have to wait long for the next one.  I was left with the whole "WHAT!!! NO!!!!" feeling because I just wasn't ready to let these characters go.

I can't touch on the story too much or I will give things away.  The book is well written though and the story doesn't skip around or leave you wondering what is going on.  You have enough information given to you that you aren't having to reread things to try and get what they are trying to say to you.  

I can say that when I was trying to figure out the big secret, I was left surprised that I was wrong with what I thought was going on. Trust me, you need to read this book!

Excerpt: 

Braeden tore away leaving me feeling cold, like the only leaf on a barren tree, a leaf left to tremble alone in the wind. He raked a hand through his hair while he paced the floor. He was tortured and scared, a man barely hanging on by a thread. 


Seconds dragged until he said thickly, “I don’t understand any of this.” 


“Because it makes no sense, right?” I snatched my barrette up with trembling hands and started fussing with my hair. “I’ve only known you a little over a month, yet it feels like a million years. And now I’m thinking—” 


“Don’t.” He stalked back over to me and grabbed my hands. “No more talking. No more thinking.” His voice was rough and desperate. “Because if I allow myself to ponder this insanity—to try and understand it…I swear, I’ll go mad.” He inhaled deeply and pressed his forehead to mine. “I knew you were trouble the moment I saw you in that window. God help me.”

Book Review - Semi-Charmed, By Isabel Jordan

I love summer.  The days last longer, the sun is out, and the mornings are calm and quiet.  I hate one thing, mosquitoes.  My area of Texas is one that has been getting the rain that floods us, so that means we have the little flying vampires all over the place.  I was trying to get into the whole walking in the morning thing again, before work, and they made a meal of me.  Who knew you could develop an allergy to the little buggers?!

So I have a great book for you today!  I picked it up because they are reading it as a book of the month in the Goodreads group, Lovers of Paranormal.  I have been trying to get more involved in the groups I am in.  I have grabs some new books to review as well. So keep your eyes open!

On with the show...





BLURB:

Psychic and paranormal PI Harper Hall isn’t that surprised when her business partner skips town. Really, she can’t help but feel it’s her own fault for trusting a guy named Romeo in the first place.

But if Harper wants to consult for the police on a high profile case, she’ll need a new partner-- preferably one with some supernatural skills of his own. Enter Noah Riddick, a slayer left jobless by the legalization of vampirism.

Riddick’s dark secrets and shady past have forced him into exile from human society--an exile he was completely comfortable with until gorgeous and exasperating Harper waltzed into his life. Now, all too aware of how…unlifelike his life has truly been, he agrees to partner with her (as if saying no to Harper Hall was ever really an option).

Fighting vampires, making immortal enemies, engaging in semi-sadistic interrogation techniques, staging daring rescues…it’s all in a day’s work for this paranormal odd couple. But falling in love? Well…that’s a little trickier. Even for the Semi-Charmed Harper Hall.

Semi-Charmed is a full-length paranormal romance novel, completely free of cliffhangers, with a HEA. For readers 18+ only. 

------------------------------

Book Title: Semi-Charmed

Author: Isabel Jordan

I was so glad that I decided to pick up this book and join in on the reading for the month.  Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down.  I fell in love with the whole idea and the way the author laid out the story.  She didn't rush things and let it go on it's own.

To start with, the characters were great. I love Harper and can't wait to see if Isabel does more with her. I think that she is well developed and thought out.  I also love that we get a taste of her past, that always helps when you are trying to get to know your characters.  I find that it is harder to connect when you can't see how a character got to be who they were once  you start reading the book.

Noak.  What can I say about Noah.  He is almost on my list of book boyfriends.  I think that if he happens to show up in another book and he is still the dark, brooding man Isabel wrote, he will definitely make that list.  He is hard to like a first but you can tell he is struggling with what he was always taught and what he is feeling.  It can't be easy to always hide that you have emotions and then meet a woman who forces you to let those feelings out.  

Over all, this book was a great read and I had to finish it once it was started.  It was definitely a good thing that I didn't start it too late in the day or I never would have gotten any sleep.  That is definitely the sign of a good book. I am hoping that we will get to see more of these characters in the future.  We have a great psychic, a hunky vampire hunter and all the friends and family needed to make a great series.  (Hint Hint)

Pros: Great story, great characters, great book

Cons: Need more books!!!

Overall rating: OMG, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

Book Review - Witches Protection Program, By Michael Phillip Cash

And here is the second post of the day.  I am trying to get caught up on my reviews so that I am not behind when I go on vacation.  Mind you, I fully intend to read on my vacation, but I just would have to feel like I have to spend the whole time reviewing books and not just reading them. And this one has the rare honor of being a five star one.

And here we go....





Book Title: Witches Protection Program

Author: Michael Phillip Cash

I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

I have to say that I loved loved loved this book.  I was so taken with it that I missed sleeping to finish reading it.  It drew me in very quickly.  And it was very much like reading the Dresden Files books for me.  ((That is a high compliment))

I have to say I have a crush on Wes.  He is a human shoved into the world of witches, fairies and whatever else is out there in the paranormal world.  He was flawed as well, so it just made him feel more human.  He was not made perfect, like so man other characters that take on the hero role.  He was very human and I loved that about him.

The idea of the story was great and I didn't see any flaws in the way it was executed.  Sometimes we get rushed parts and with most paranormal books, we sometimes get from point A to point B with no back story.  Thankfully we got the back story here.  I would have hated from them not to show me how Wes had gotten himself into trouble to begin with.  Without him getting into trouble, we would not have ended up where we were in the book.

I can't wait for the next book.  ((I am assuming this is the start to a new series))

Pros: Characters were great, story flowed

Cons: I couldn't find a con for this one.

Overall rating: Highly, Highly recommended!!

Book Review - Exodia, By Debra Chapoton

I love that I have so many books to read and review. Sadly my work in the real world has been keeping me so busy that I have not had the time to do all the reviews that I need to get done. I also have been slacking after I read some and not getting the reviews up as quickly as possible. I feel like a horrible book reviewer right now. Sometimes there is just not enough time in the day to get everything done you need to get done. On with this show...


Book Title: Exodia

Author: Debra Chapoton

I got this book in exchange for an honest review.

I will be honest, I am all about the end of the world, starting over again books.   Even when it's really just technology not working and things changing for people.  This book is part of this kind of genre for me. It was very well written and definitely was far more then I expected.

It was not hard to empathize with the characters and I felt like I really got to know them.  I was able to make myself part of their world through out the book.

Over all I am definitely looking forward to the next one in the series.  The ideas for this story were so well thought out that I want to see where she goes with the next book.  I love when I can watch a story unfold as I am reading them.

I will not tell too much about the story itself, because if you are anything like me you hate to have spoilers before  you read something.  That being said, I loved the idea of the tattoos on people, with certain colors meaning certain things.  It was different and it really did help you see how the world had been divided after things went downhill.  You see things from both sides of the story and have the main character right there in the middle, trying to figure out where he stands, where he comes from.

Pros: The characters are so well written.

Cons: I am not a fan of when a book can be paralleled with s bible story.

Overall rating: I would definitely recommend this one.

Book Review - Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie, By C.L. Riley

So I am a week behind on my reviews.  Last weekend my husband and I spent two days at a the Amarillo YC3 (Yellow City Comicon) as vendors. And of course, Sunday was Mother's day, so I was not really around then either.  So I have to get caught up.

I love that I am getting so many books to read.  I have to thank all the wonderful authors that have asked me to read their books.  They have been great and I love each and every characters.  Yes, sometimes I say they need to work on something, but for the most part I see great potential in each and every book!

That being said....



Book Title: Bottle Banished: Dreaming of Genie

Author: C.L. Riley

I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)

This book was out of my current genre obsession but it was great!  I loved the idea of the Jinn and Genies.  I love how the characters were developed and you get several different views of the story, from each main character's side.  I love when I can get different views of how a story is going to go.  Not a lot of authors can do it, and do it well.

This book was well written.  The flow was great and it was a very easy read.  You don't struggle with the story.  I also didn't have any problems with following the story. Sometimes the story gets muddled in books but not with this one.  This time I could follow the story and I wanted to keep reading, to know what was going to happen next.

I can't wait to read the rest of the books this series is going to bring to us.  I would love more stories for the other characters.  We have Genie and Reid in this one.  I want more Mark and I would love more of the big powerful Jinn Kuru that is after Genie.  I mean, come one, there is a red head involved.  ((I am a red head and love when there are strong red heads in books.)) 

Pros: Great writing, easy to follow and the characters are likeable and easy to love.

Cons: I want more back story at times.  I feel like I need more on some of the characters to help with this book.

Overall Rating: I would definitely recommend this book!

Reading, writing, and so much more

So keep making new blogs and closing old ones down.  I just can't make up my mind on what I want to do.  I do have to start something because I have started doing book reviews. I get the books from Amazon, Goodreads and a couple other places.  I love to read and I love having access to so many books, especially the new ones.

I got a Kindle Fire as an early birthday present and it has been the best present I have ever received.  I have read so many different books on it since I got it and I am excited to see what else I will get to read. I have fallen in love with the different kinds of books I can get for it.  I even set my Goodreads account back up and gave it its own e-mail account so I can track when I am getting new things to read.

My Goodreads profile.

I am currently reading a book called Wind Catcher, by Jeff Altabef and Erynn Altabef. You can see it here or go straight and buy it here.  Once I am done with it, I will post a full review on it.  I am enjoying it.  It is the first in a new series and so far it's keeping me engaged.

I plan to start posting all my book reviews here.  I will also keep updates on what I am reading.  I read so many different things.
