I really liked how this book began when the female main character was a young child. An innocent gesture of a very curious little girl causes a blood bond to be formed between herself and a vampire who lives next door. Everyone he kills while feeding she has a nightmare about the act. The vampire feels the little girl'suick girl's knowledge of his true nature is threat to him but can't seem to make himself ‘ttake care of the problem'. Years later he kidnaps her and curiosity turns to budding romance. The vampire is soon feeling emotions he thought had died the night he became a vampire. This was quick read consisting of around 100 pages. I liked the charaters and felt they worked well together. NOT A CLIFFHANGER (Yes there is a second in the series but the story doesn't just stop and require you to read the next book to know what happened with the main couple). I am curious to see where the next story takes us.
Very unique story line. I have never read anything like this before. At first I found the story line a little hard to follow but everything starts to make sense around chapter three. I really enjoyed the book even though it is not typical to what I normally read. After finishing the book I passed it on to a friend of mine who completely devoured the book in one sitting.
There are so many things going on in this books. It follows many different characters that are all associated with a company that has developed cutting edge holographic technology in the home entertainment industry. The partners are in disagreement about whether or not to venture into the adult entertainment business. There is a lot more going on but I can't figure out a way to summarize without adding spoilers. There is stalker like obsession, brain washing, lust, love, betrayal, and the list could go on and on. I love how the author was able to pack so much into the story line and not have the book end up being about a zillion pages long. I look forward to reading next installment.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
A friend of mine raved about this book. While I am not as awestruck as she is (when I told her I was reading it I swear she got moist in the eyes). I did enloy this book but at times I found myself annoyed by the writing style. This book simply put is a mediocre author with great knowledge and insider information. If this book hadn't been about such a notorious, well known serial killer I doubt anyone would ever have read it. The only reason I gave it three stars was that it did keep me entertained.
Quick read that holds your interest.
The main characters in this book are a stripper, an angel, and the devil. Something quite funny happened to me while I was reading this book. I was in the waiting room of my doctor's office waiting to be called back when a woman a little older than me asked what I was reading. Well I told her the name of it and she instantly looks it up on her phone. That's is when I notice she is where a shirt with WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) stamped on the front of it. OH SHIT! After reading the blurb for the book she gives the best ‘oh, you are so going to hell look' I have ever seen. She then walked up to the window seperating the receptionist from the waiting area and tells the lady that she wants to cancel her appointment because she feels uncomfortable being around certain other patients in the waiting room...lol...I was the only one there. That being said some people may find this offensive.
Samantha Victoria nailed it with this one! This book is nicely written and wrapped in an amazing cover. I love the cover so much on this book that I want a blown up replica of it to frame and hang on my wall.
The way this book is written is what makes it so special. The words flow beatifully and the character's personalities stay consistant throughout the entire story. This story line is not all that original but it didn't feel like I was reading a story that I had already read like so many other books like this tend to do.
Cheyenne was raised in a Sons of Anarchy like family. She leaves town in hopes of putting her dysfunctional past behind her and begin a new life after her mother was murdered by a rival biker gang. She moves in with her best friend Tabby who also left the biker life behind for a fresh start. She meets Joss who happens to be a little bit of a bad boy himself with a closet full of skeletons. She tries to steer clear of but can't seem to stop herself falling for him.
I hope this author has more to come in the future. I received the book in exchange for an honest review but I would willingly have paid for it considering how much I enjoyed. I honestly feel guilty for having received this for free.
Wereleper WOW! I WANT MORE! (Free on Amazon)
This book completely took me by surprise, ILOVED IT! I had never heard of this author before and accidentally stumbled across this while looking for a book by my favorite author (J R Ward). Well I ended up completely devouring this book and have only read about 20 or so pages of the other. That is how good this book is! As soon as I finish writing this I am going to grab the second installment in this series.
This book is set in a world were the human population is aware of the were (shifter) population and usually avoid each other as much as possible. MacKenzie is a mutant, meaning she doesn't fully shift, and is considered a freak by the were community. She has been living in the human society successfully blending in with them and being unnoticed. After years of hiding she has taught herself to not become attatched to people and basically turn her emotions off. She knows she is incapable of love.
Wonderful, cheeky, modern retelling of Little Bunny Foo Foo song. Rabbit Foo Foo rides through the forest on a motorcycle hitting the creatures that live there with a wooden hammer! Loved it, so did my son. I am trying to pass on my love of books to my children and am always impressed when one has my boy, who can't sit still for more then a second, shouting, “Read it again! “

GOOD JOB, MR. STRUMP! YOUR WORDS HAVE PAINTED A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE IN MY HEAD. I did not expect to actually enjoy this book but it sucked me in and soon I felt like I was right there beside the characters experiencing their adventures along side them. I am positive Vreeland will stay alive in my mind for quite sometime. This book could easily become the next hit thing. I would not be surprised if I one day see an animated Anton and Titi on television and little plastic replicas of them in the toy department.
At summer camp Anton runs off into the woods after the other kids play a horrible prank on him and make fun of because of his pointy ears. He falls into a hole in the ground and finds himself in a place called Vreeland. He finds that many things here are the same as home only on a much larger scale, a cherry tomato that won't even fit through the front door. He encounters many different types of people, some have wings and pointy ears, others are short and as round as they are tall, there are even some that have fins and live in the water (mermaids but that's not what they are called). He is instantly drawn to a fairy like girl name Titi and soon finds himself falling in love with her. Anton is believed to be the Chosen One who is prophesied to save the Queen of Peace from the evil Lord of the Weets.
I recommend this book to people of all ages who enjoyed books such as Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Peter Pan etc.
my! That ending! I never expected that.
This was spooky, well written, and the characters were well rounded. There were a couple parts that really gave me the creeps and had me jumping at any noise I heard. I kept waiting for that little girl from the Ring movies to pop over for a visit.
At the time of this review, this has $4.99 price tag. Is it worth that? I don't think I would pay that much for this. I would wait for this at a discounted price.
I will definitely read more by this author if the price is right.
I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review through the Choosy Bookworm R&R program.
I loved this book. Very solid world building. It has a sort of ‘Me Tarzan, you Jane type of main charator.
Caderan the Hunter, a merman, saves Bridget, an oceanograher, for a death by sea. He takes her to his home in The Abyss, a magical realm located under the sea.
There is loads of steamy, and I mean STEAMY sex. The world building was amazing in this book. I finished this whole series in less then two days unable to stop myself from clicking that that 1-click-buy button that Amazon so nicely helped me max my credit card out with...lol.
Ok, my thoughts...I, um...what the hell was this?!?! I hated the whole thing BUT it is well written. I would not call this book erotica but it is filled with sex just not the kind that gets you carpal tunnel. I felt sorry for everyone's asses through out the entire book because it was full out spankathon.
I think this is my least favorite so far in the series. Not bad, but seemed to lack something that the other books did. I really liked having Sam more involved in the books than he was in this one.
This is the book that started my whole love for paranormal. I just love how Sita is an evil hero type character. She has so many good traits but also some really bad ones. Every time I pick up this book I end up reading the entire series back to back and shutting out the world around me. It is so well written that it actually plays like a movie in my head while I am reading it.
This is great, simple too. The pictures are amazing and make you really want to get up to cook it, not just think about cooking it... lol. I especially liked a section for no-bake recipes. They are quick and tasty.
This is a lot longer than I thought it would be. I expected maybe 30 pages or so. Nope, 240ish pages of yummy.
My girls (11 and 13) are really liking this. They are going through a cooking phase and this gives them many options and ideas to create.

Read this in college and still partied harder than a rock star in my twenties. All this book did was get me curious about drugs and want to try all the ones I had just read about.
“LSD IS BAD,” Said the book.
“BUT BAD IS GOOD. NOW I GOTTA TRY IT!” My twenty year brain screamed in response.
I picked this book up at a yard sale when I was about six. The man I bought it from told the title,I thought he had said something like: A Donkey Named Oaty. Well needless to say my young mind thought that just sounded awsome and the size of the book, big plus...bedtime stories forever. After about a week of begging my mom (passed away in 2012 at 50 years old, too young) finally started ‘reading' this to me. It wasn't until I had to read this in my first year in college that I realized she had made up every story about Donkey Oaty and his sidekick Serventzo.
Well, today I decoded to stop at a yard sale and fund the exact edition my mother used to pretend to read to me.
My mother's version was much better.
