I really liked this story. It was a nice break from all the supernatural stories I normally read.

While sneaking out for a night of exploration without the chaperones Christy and her group see a meeting and a murder they shouldn't have. After going to the FBI they find out the bad guys are a greater threat they could have imagined. Until the FBI can find the bad guys and put them away they're lives are in danger, but this isn't the only exciting thing going on in D.C. Christy quickly becomes the object of two guys affection. Who will she pick? The aloof rebel who pushes her to do all the exciting things she never dreamed of doing and especially not before her 16th birthday (when her parent allow her to date). Or the guy who shares her values and promises to wait patiently for her 16th birthday. Her heart wants both, but her conscience is telling her only one is right for her. This story is fun, exciting and will keep you on the edge of your seat to the very end!

The Vincent Brothers by Abbi Glines Review

The Vincent Brothers by Abbi Glines

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I can't decide if I like this one better than The Vincent Boys, maybe it's a tie! After reading the first book it doesn't seem that Sawyer could be the possessive, crazy about a girl type like is brother until Ashton's shy, conservative cousin Lana returns looking hotter than ever. He isn't exactly over Ash just yet, but he thinks Lana could be a great distraction and maybe exactly what he needs to get Ash's attention again. What he didn't expect was to fall head over hills for her and not realize it until it was too late. Seeing this side of Sawyer was nice! Beau on the other hand has gotten even more protective and jealous to the point that it was overkill. I wanted Sawyer to put him in his place and tell him to calm down. Every comment Sawyer made set Beau off in a rage throwing out threats and warnings. Still it couldn't distract from the exciting romance brewing between Sawyer and Lana. I loved knowing their thoughts and felt Lana's excitement and let downs 'til the very end! This is another must read :)

Witchcraft (Witchblood #2) by Emma Mills Review

Witchcraft (Witchblood, #2). by Emma Mills

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Witchcraft picks right up where Witchblood left off and jumps right into the action. This time the focus is on her growing witch powers and those that will stop at nothing to get Jess on their side making them either a very powerful coven or clan. I loved the story very much I couldn't put it down until I finished it! Jess is still as stubborn and naive as ever, she's so set on what she wants to do she misses the obvious traps until it's too late. I was a little irritated by this, thinking at what point will she finally get it, but then again she is new to the supernatural world and the wicked in disguise individuals that inhabit said world. I was happy when she finally let go of her feelings for Luke and gave into her love for Daniel. She still struggled with trusting him, but that didn't hold her back from wanting to see where their relationship could go. The ending I did not see coming and I have to say I'm hanging on by a thread for the final book which can't come soon enough!

Witchblood by Emma Mills Review

Witchblood by Emma Mills

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Let me start by saying though I did not give the book a five star rating I did LOVE it! The story was well developed, easy to follow and bewitching ;) I couldn't put it down until I finished it. The characters are believable and likable, whether you like to love them or like to hate them, the emotion is there. The descriptions of each scene was great in that it didn't drag on to the point where I had to skim just to get to the dialogue so that was a definite plus! I loved the relationship developing between Jess, 17 yr old newly turned vampire/half witch, and her maker Daniel. Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I desperately wanted it to speed up, but understood why Jess couldn't allow herself to fall in love so quickly. My only problem, however, was that Jess could be so naive or sheltered and yet be so unwilling to trust those closest to her (Daniel and Eva). I get her being stubborn, behaving like a 17 year old and not wanting to submit to a "master". I could even understand her not trusting Luke after feeling so deceived, but sharing a telepathic bond with Daniel, being able to feel what he feels and the lengths he goes to protect her, I don't understand why even 'til the end of the book she's still hesitant to fully trust him. This aside, the story was so spellbinding as soon as I finished I went to the author's blog, became a fan, following her updates, and bought the second book.

Nearly Finished

I'm finally nearing the end of the story and I'm struggling on how to finish it. I've decided I'd like to make it a 2 book series, so now I have to find the perfect cliff hanger and that is no easy feat. I'm excited to finally be here and a little disappointed in myself that I took this long to complete it. Once again I'm being really hard on myself, but in this case I should be. I slacked off a lot! My hopes for the next book and all others that come after this one is that I will be more dedicated. I want to make time instead of "finding" time. I've got my beta readers lined and ready to go and I have to say I'm very nervous. I realize my story is not for everyone, not everyone enjoys a juicy scandal (I think!) so I will keep that in mind and take in their feedback with a grain of salt or a box of tissues whichever works for me :) Hopefully the next time I post I will have a publishing date to share!
