"Just breathe. Ten tiny breaths ... Seize them. Feel them. Love them."
Right from the very start your thrown into some heavy nightmare that turns out to be the reality of what happened to Kacey. She was involved in a car wreck that took the lives of her parents, her boyfriend and her best friend. The grief is so thick and so all consuming you feel like your there along with the characters , Trent well he isn't who he appears will he be the one to save Kacey or drive in the final stake that brings her down ? I love this read very emotional and heart wrenching .
"Do You think it matters if they're tiny or deep? he asked. Well, if they're not tiny breaths and they're not deep breaths, then they're just ... breaths. Then you're just breathing for the sake of ... breathing.
... Seize them. Feel them. Love them ..."

Awakened, the second book in the Belladonna Agency series, knocked it out of the park for me! What did I love about this book? Oh, just about everything! First off I am a HUGE PNR fan. And just because I am does not mean I will read any old PNR that falls in my lap. Its got to be good, REAL GOOD. Its got to have the whole package for me. Characters, action, and a plot with enough mystery to keep me from guessing what comes next too easily. This book has it all. Heres what it takes to get a 5-star review out of me.

Characters  well developed and interesting are a must. No problem here. Barrett and Nick are awesome. Shes no wimp and he isn't all-grunt-grunt macho. They are perfectly matched. Slightly flawed, strong and smart. Lets not forget there is heat between them. THANKFULLY, their story is not all sex. Theres emotion and character. Even the antagonists are well done. Vladimir is one bad dude yet he is still interesting. Hes just a guy running a business (admittedly a bad one) but its his sinister side that caught my attention. While I don't think he would scare me in a dark alley, please do not not let him and me get near a white room. Got to touch on one more character who sparked my interest  Sam. OMG!!! Sam! I cant go into details but Sam was easily one of my favorite secondary characters in the book. PLEASE, make another appearance in the series.

Plot  its got to keep me riveted. BIG CHECK! A thriller, mystery and romance all in one. So many twists and heart-pounding moments, it was like riding a roller coaster. The story is well developed and even if you didn't read the previous book in the series (which I highly suggest you do) its easy to keep up with what is going on. I pretty much figured that the latest victim was going to get rescued but the journey to get there kept me from putting down my book. There was plenty of action and adventure to hook me in. As much as I wanted to sit down and devour this book in one sitting, I was good and paced myself. I didn't want to rush too fast and miss a thing. There are definitely some story-lines be built up that will be revealed in future installments of this series. Seriously, I may have a problem when this series ends.

As for what I didn't like about this book. Crickets.

So this series is the one I am popping my Virna DePaul cherry on. So far, I am more than satisfied. Between the great character and good plot a PNR fan couldn't do any better. While each book can be read as a stand-alone, I do suggest reading them in order. I get the feeling all this is building toward something pretty epic. If you are looking to tryout Ms. DePauls writing, then look no further than her Belladonna Agency series. You won't be disappointed. Now to wait for the next book

I only this year discovered H. L. Burkes books, and quickly became addicted to themthis one is my favorite yet! In fact, its one of my favorites Ive read this year. <3 (Its taken me awhile to review it because HOW do I sum up my love for this thing?)

This book has everything you need for a book to be an awesome favorite! Its a buddy story (more on that in a minute), and to add on top of that, not only is it a buddy story, but its a MAGICAL buddy story, in a Faerie world, with a dash of steampunk, loads of snark, and basically WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE? This book had Deborah-Will-Love-It written all over it, so I was extremely excited to read it. Im glad to report that my initial suspicion was absolutely correctit did not disappoint!

First and foremost, as mentioned, its a buddy story. I absolutely LOVE these kinds of storiesyou know, the ones where there are two fellows who are at odds with one another and REALLY don't get along, but are forced to work together with much snarky banter and possibly-perhaps-but-not-to-give-anything-away might end up the best of friends in the process, even if they might not admit it and STILL banter with each other, of course. ;) Those books/films are some of my favorite plots, and this one lived up to that SO well! Definitely one of my favorite buddy stories! Auric and Jericho are just the best and I so enjoyed watching them having to put up with each other. XD

Continuing the list of awesome: Lovable characters! Meet Auric Spellsmith, Jericho Carver, and Rill Spellsmith. Auric and Jericho are rivalsJericho is Aurics fathers new apprentice, and is also in love with Aurics sister, Rill. Auric is Very Not Pleased with both these things, and Jericho is not about to be kicked out, either. Tensions run high and its glorious. XD Then disaster strikes and they're forced to work together, which is the best part of the book. ;) Theyre both very different and Jericho maaayyy or may not be my favorite, but I love Auric too and I especially love them having to be a team together. :P

Rill is awesome tooshes definitely a likable character, and the side-plot of her and Jerichos romance was AWESOME. I love them so so much. <3 Theres also an intriguing villainI will not spoil things, but I thought the way the villain was written was utterly unique and original and I absolutely loved it. O_O And theres an awesome clockwork fox named Jaspyr, who had a few cameos and hopefully will appear more in the sequel...

The world is so neat! The magical system was interesting, and I loved their journey in the perilous Faerie world, all the creatures they met (unicorns! Dragon! Other scary things!), and how there was a slight steampunkish feel to their own world. JustjustFaerie-ish books make me happy! I looooved the worlds and feel of this book.

Theres a touch of Christianity as well, which I lovedit wasn't a big part of the story, but a natural part of their world, and I liked that feel. :)

Snark. Did I mention snark? Because the snark levels are strong with this one, and their dialog is a joy to read. XD

Its SO fun, with the characters and bantering and buddy-story, but its also heart-pounding and thrilling and scary sometimes, and so well-written that it effortlessly tugged me along on this fast-paced adventure. Its only just a rollicking adventure; it felt like there was a layer of deeper emotion and truth there too, and justit was so so good!

Overall, this is a fun, exciting fantasy novel, with some of my favorite characters (*hugs them all*) it had me constantly wanting to quote it... I simply enjoyed it SO VERY MUCH! Ive heard theres to be a sequel releasing very soon, and I could not be more ecstatic. I need more Spellsmith and Carver in my life! I definitely, DEFINITELY, recommend this book! Just read it! <3

Title: The Red Book of Primrose House by Marty Wingate
Publisher: Random House/alibi.  pp
Genre: cosy, mystery, English historical mystery,
3.5/4 Stars ****
Author:
Marty Wingate is the author of The Potting Shed mysteries: The Garden Plot, The Red Book of Primrose House, and Between a Rock and a Hard Place. Her new mystery series, Birds of a Feather: The Rhyme of the Magpie will be published June 2, 2015.
Marty writes about gardening in the PNW and travel (she also gives European garden tours). She can be heard on A Dry Rain (adryrain.net), a free podcast available on iTunes. Wingate is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and Sisters in Crime, as well as the Royal Horticultural Society and the Garden Writers Association.
Story line: The Potting Shed Mysteries take place in England, where Pru Parke has transplanted herself to find herself and become a head gardener. In the first book, Pru (short for Prunella, a lovely garden weed in my yard) of course finds a body in her odd job but is introduced to DCI Christopher Pearse. There is a charming developing romantic relationship as both characters are in their 50s. In the second book on Primrose house, they have a long distance relationship as she has found her dream job at an 18th century Manor house in Sussex, near the spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells. She is to restore the 1806 garden design by Humphrey Repton, for opening day in 6 months time. Some comic moments occur with ghastly gardening ideas from the owner (emails, postits) who want to add personal contemporary ideas to complement the original plan. But then another body mars the landscape after vandals seriously delay the project. Murder and mayhem don't help deadlines either. There is a side plot involving locating her mother's family.
Pru is a curious and interesting protagonist. Her relationship with Christopher is also a plus. These books are the definition of cosy: fast easy reads, delightful secondary characters, solvable mystery and fun. There  is a nice blend of history, gardening and romance. I would have loved a garden design and plant details.
You will want spring to come soon with all the gardening. I would be tempted to wait for the third book and read them all in a row as a summer beach read. I was glad I had read them in order.
Read on:
If you like Rosemary and Thyme or Agatha Christie
Quotes:
Pru wouldn't be surprised if Davinia seized on a fairy garden or a collection of gnomes next.
Her longing for some family relation in England has led her to dream up all sorts of connections.
He shook it firmly, with a good gardener's grip...it's always easy gardener to gardener...
...and wondered if there was a point to showering at all these days, as she seemed to be in dirt more than out of it.
You can never have too many cups of tea...it's an especially fine conversation lubricant.
It was just one cup of tea and a generous slice of bakewell tart, but it was a restorative visit.
She reminded herself to check back in about fifty years to see how it was doing.

Even the best intentions can be entangled in darkness.

Tremaine is no stranger to tough decisions. One case took him so deep he nearly lost his way. Saving Liz gave him purpose, pulling him back into the light.

After tragedy, Tremaine helped Liz rebuild her life. Their pieces fell into place with Robert. The three of them have forged an unbreakable bond through heartbreak and reunion.

Roberts new case threatens to drag Tremaine back to his darkest hours. Every revealed secret pulls them deeper, entwining the three further.

Together theyll uncover plots set in motion long before Tremaines was assigned the case that nearly broke him. The truth will either bind or destroy them all.

Four Great Stars! This is the eighth book in the Others of Edenton Series and I would advise reading the other books in the series first. I read it as a stand-alone and was a little lost at times. This book mostly focuses on Tremaine but you will also read about Liz and Robert. All the characters but especially Tremaine have problems they have to deal with from their past. The author did a wonderful job with putting plenty of suspense, steamy sex scenes and romance in the story. The book is also filled with magic. Overall an enjoyable read!

I received this book as an ARC for an honest review. This book was read and reviewed by Annamaria for Alpha Book Club.

Title: Flipped
Pages: 212
Author: Wendelin Van Draanen
First, Wendelin is a girl (I was surprised too). She lives with her hubby and two sons in sunny California. Her first book was published in 1997 and has since written around 27 books, mostly middle grade.
Agent: Wait for it... Ginger Knowlton of Curtis Brown. She is the same agent for at least Fairest and possibly Oy, Joy! as well. Yes they are accepting queries. Mail your query, synopsis, sample chapter, resume and SASE to:

I would just like to say that I have nothing bad to say about this book. It was great! Wendelin Van Draanen gave me a new way to read a book and I loved it. She took the two distinctly different points of view from a boy and a girl going through the same moments in life and showed us their very different thoughts on what was happening. It evoked all of the emotions it was supposed to at all of the right times, which in my book is the highest praise possible.

Flipped is being made into a movie as I write this. It will be out in September of 2010.

Juli Baker is a gregarious little girl of seven when she meets her new neighbor Bryce. He is dreamy and she instantly falls for his blue eyes and captivating smile. Fast forward to six years later of her drooling all over him and him trying to ignore her. She has never taken the hint and is certain that her first kiss belongs to him, if only he would take it.
Bryce and Juli do a lot of growing up their eighth grade year. Juli's eyes are opened to see more of Bryce than just his handsome face. She sees him as a weak coward, just as his eyes are opened to see that she is more than just the annoying girl who has always been his shadow. They both have flipped.

Bryce falls for her too late and Juli holds her ground on her Bryce diet... she will not give in. He calms his pounding heart and realizes that he will have to do something big to get her back. I love this part, so many guys would get it wrong and give a girl a bunch of flowers that are going to die, but not Bryce. He gives her a tree. It'll make sense when you read it.
My favorite lines were:

Turn down the chance to feel magic for fear of a little dirt? I couldn't believe it.

and

This weird feeling started taking over in the pit of my stomach, and I didn't like it. Not one bit. To tell the truth it scared the sheetrock out of me.

I give this book a nine out of ten. I recommend that Moms read this and post teens as well as early teens. I recommend it for 12 and up, but seriously if you remember your first crush... read it.
There are a few things that could bother some people. They swear to God once, call people idiots, and have a dog that they nickname the Mystery Pisser, which is an ongoing joke through the book. They also have an older daughter who doesn't eat hardly anything, some cheating on spelling tests go on, and there is a very vague reference to breasts. There is no actual kissing in the book. If it had been written for an older audience there would have been at least one more chapter, but I still liked the way that it ended.

Heart or head.
My Review:
I honestly never thought I would say this, but I didn't like it as much as I was expecting. It was still and wonderful, very enjoyable read, and I wanted more. I really May or Aunt May to come into the book, but she didn't. I also wanted Ahren to play a little bit of a bigger role but that is all. That is the major reason I was a little disappointed. I also wanted more romance in this book. Maxon and Americas story was great because they knew they were meant for each other, and Eadlyn doesn't know until the final pages of the book which means we really don't get to see much of how they are together. I was also disappointed with two of the boys in the book and thought it was un needed to put that in the book, that alone kind of hurt my opinion for the book. Other than those 3 reasons, I loved the book! I had a ton of action which led me to finish the book in one night. I know I've pointed out pretty much all the things I didn't enjoy about the book, but let me tell you don't let it stop you from reading it. I really did enjoy this book I was just expecting a little bit more. I loved seeing Americas mom come into play in this book. There were also so new family secrets revealed in this book that were very entertaining. I really truly did enjoy this book!

Last Year's Mistake was a really fun book. It was also heartbreaking, romantic, and wonderful. I read it a little while ago, so I'm fuzzy on the details, but it was a really well written novel. I am super happy to have read it, and can't wait to read more by Gina!

Favorite Quotes:

Im sorry. I promise to keep my commitment cooties away from you.

Find the woman whose demons play nice with yours. Thats what its all about, brother.

I liked my life, before we figured things out between us. But everything was in sepia tones. Nice to look at. Adequate. With you with us together, everything is in vibrant, pulsing color, and I cant wait to open my eyes every morning and see whats around me.

And you're a good-looking guy in his prime Womens ovaries start tap-dancing when they see you.

Not that I know what Im talking about, but I think the key to marriage is not to marry someone you can live with, but to marry the one you cant live without.

My Review:

Autumn Jones Lake has made my week as she pens my favorite MC series, not that Im a muffler bunny, but I do enjoy varying my reading genres. Shortly after picking up the first book, Slow Burn, the Lost Kings quickly became my favorite group of handsome, nasty talking, witty, sexy, and smart-mouthed alpha bad boys - hands down. They cannot seem to speak without swearing (even when they try) and tease, bicker, prank, and banter 90% of the time. They may be tatted, tough, and rough around the edges; but they are total marshmallows and teddy bears when it comes to their women, and then also provide after school programs and quietly aid in protecting their community. Of the books in the series that I have had the pleasure of reading, White Knuckles was the steamiest and sweetest love story of the bunch. I adored seeing the moody and perpetually cranky Wrath evolving into a sweet and considerate other half with Trinity, which hasn't always been the case with this couple as he had been such a bitter and nasty buggah to her in previous installments. Little Trinity has brought the big man to his knees, as she is the only one who ever could have, and despite how vulnerable that makes him, Wrath wouldnt have it any other way. Despite having some nail biting scenes due to some bad business the club needed to sort and handle, the storyline was focused on the love story, wedding prep, and relationship issues of the club. The writing was engaging, amusing, easy to follow, and packed with creative and highly sensual sexcapades, amusing banter, and snarky wit. White Knuckles resides at the top of my list as my all time favorite MC book. All hail the Lost Kings!

I fell in love with the characters immediately. Packed with adventure, humour and a lot of heart, A Dash of Belladonna is a must-read! I'll be putting it on my keeper shelf.

Favorite Line(s) "Some may see it as a romantic, whimsical term, but I see it differently. For starters, if fate is real, then we really don't have any control over our own lives."

"There are moments in life that occur in the blink of an eye, yet as you watch them; it seems they play out in slow motion"

"The only feeling I can muster now is fear. Fear of what lies ahead. Fear of this strange blood healer, Rhett. Fear that I will never have any secrets I can keep from him or Sarah."

"My name is Aldo Lawson. I'm awake. And I'm a Hybrid."

What a fabulous new paranormal story! I really enjoyed the difference of this story.
I love paranormal stories as EVERYONE knows. This story gave me my paranormal fix and gave me something I haven't seen in a paranormal story before! It's a fabulous story.
Aldo is a healer but, not how we think. She takes energy from someone young and healthy and gives it to the person that needs healing. Also, her brother, and her guardian Lucy are all healers. They are always on the run afraid of what? Aldo doesn't know until she meets Thomas! A beautiful healer! He tells her of things. Like Vampires and Blood Healers. She loves him and that's when things get crazy! I only had one problem with this book and it's when Aldo looked back on her life it didn't tell you she was looking back so I got a little confused but, it's a small thing compared to this fabulous book!
I can't believe I have to wait until 2014 for book 2 but its worth it!

This is a defiantly an author to watch out for!

FIVE BLOOD HEALER FAIRIES

Title: Lover at Last (Black Dagger Brotherhood #11)
Author: J.R.Ward
Publisher: NAL Hardcover
Synopsis: Qhuinn, son of no one, is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, shunned by the aristocracy, he has finally found an identity as one of the most brutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. Even as the prospect of having a family of his own seems to be within reach, he is empty on the inside, his heart given to another....

Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it's about time: The male has found his perfect match in a Chosen female, and they are going to have a young--just as Qhuinn has always wanted for himself. It's hard to see the new couple together, but building your life around a pipe dream is just a heartbreak waiting to happen. As he's learned firsthand.

Fate seems to have taken these vampire soldiers in different directions... but as the battle over the race's throne intensifies, and new players on the scene in Caldwell create mortal danger for the Brotherhood, Qhuinn finally learns the true definition of courage, and two hearts who are meant to be together... finally become one

Opinion: I've been waiting for this book for over a year  that I could not wait till its publication in Spanish. So when my sister went to Florida the same week of the book release, I went in  fan-girl mode and asked her to buy it for me. I was so excited to read it that she gave it to me  all I could do was to hug it and I started to jump like a mad around the house, literally.

The truth is that I cannot be very impartial with J.R.Ward books because I LOVE them, but I'll make an effort xD. I had very high expectations about this book because since the moment I started to see a possible relationship between Qhinn and Blay in the firsts books of the series, I  wanted the author to write a book about them.

I have to warn that people who do not like books with male-male relationships or with very explicit sex scenes  not to read this book. On the subject of sex, the author has described their sexual encounters like woman-man, I mean, that after reading several books of gay relationships, in this is clear that Ward was not used to write this kind of relationships.

The story, like all the books in this series, is very fluid and introduces us to new characters that are not very important for the main plot, but certainly some of them will become future protagonists in the following books.

The scenes of Qhuinn and Blay are beautiful,and after all the hype that Ward has created in the series with these two characters, it has resulted in an explosive book filled with delicious sexual tension. I loved to know more about Blay because in previous books  Qhuinn was the one that had  a more leading role . The only thing that did not  convinced me was the end. I felt it  very rushed, but luckily for all Qhuinn and Blay fans in the next books of the series  this sexy vampire couple will reappear.

"You are perfect the way you are." Blay's voice was strong. "There is nothing wrong with who and what you have always been. I'm proud of you. And I love you. Now ... and always."
Qhuinn's vision got wavy. Hard-core.
"I'm proud of you. And I love you," Blay repeated. "Always. Forget about your old family ... you have me now. I am your family."

Most times I begin by saying whether or not the book reviewed is in the genre I normally do or do not read.  As of late my Genres have been flipping and though I had a love of paranormal romance I had lost my interest when most of the books I had begun to read took on a life of nothing more than sexual conquest after sexual conquest no matter how weird some of them seem to be.  Disheartened I had found myself floundering seeing something and unsure.  That was until Moonlight Bleu fell across my path from the wonderful publishers at Crescent Moon Press.  I was really not up for the task and even felt a little leery as I stared at my kindle and then.  I took a leap of faith.  Diving in with a ferocity and hunger to once again hopefully enjoy the genre that I loved so much.  To say the least possible I was not disappointed.

The story was rich with detail and intrigue explaining future events and past with clarity that kept all real. There was the knowing a little of what would happen but then a twist when it never happened quite the way you thought it would. It was a page turner and with each one I found myself hating to think that I was growing that much closer to the books end.  Saari was instantly a love of mine I liked how she wasn't super human strong but she wasn't a push over or scared. It was a beautiful mix of both as she struggled to deal with the effects of her past and the events of her soon to be future. There was no abundance of sexual exploitation and I felt like the author truly knew what was going to make her book more tasteful and down right intriguing. I'm compelled by the story and long for more.  I want to know more about what will happen to Saari, Dhelis, Brogan and her best friend an Egyptian vampire named Mags.

Last but not least I have to thank the author and Crescent Moon Press for renewing my faith in this Genre once again.
