Fate Succumbs By Tammy Blackwell Review

Fate Succumbs by Tammy Blackwell

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This was not the ending I expected, but it was a good ending nonetheless. I fell in love with this story before I even finished the Destiny Binds and Miss Tammy continued to pull me in with Time Mends even when it became obvious my guy choice was never going to be The One (sigh)! My one and only dislike was that the buildup to the final battle with the Alpha Pack and Scout finally realizing who her one true love is felt really dragged out! Still, that wouldn't stop me from recommending this series because in the end it really was a great read :)

Mark of the Wolf by T.L. Shreffler Review

Mark of the Wolf by T.L. Shreffler

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This is not just another werewolf story, because this is not your typical werewolf. Unlike some other werewolf stories where the hero is more than animal Gareth is as temperamental, unrefined and as wild as the wolf within. He can be protective and tender, but the urges of the wolf often outweigh sensibility. Rough around the edges and a face and body to crave, Maddy is instantly under his spell. The story follows Maddy a young 18 year old who tries to deal with the horrible life she’s been given when her mother committed suicide leaving her to be raised by an abusive step-father. Every time the abuse gets to be too much Maddy runs off into the woods behind her cabin home and one night at the tender age of 11 a young man finds her cold and scared. He carries her home and the pattern continues until she turns 14. Gareth is not just Maddy’s savior, at 18 he reveals to her that she’s his lifemate. That not the only thing he reveals, after he saves her from a vicious attack in his werewolf form he tells her what she saw was real and that he is an exiled werewolf. Hearing his story of how he was cheated out of becoming Alpha of his old pack, Maddy offers to repay the many times he helped her by helping him take back what is rightfully his.

Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford Review

Dark Summer by Lizzy Ford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book in my opinion definitely deserves the 5 stars I gave it. The characters, their story, the magical world they live in it's all believable and very captivating. The tale of Summer an orphan from the age of four is a heart-wrenching one for sure. It's impossible not to feel what she feels and want her story to end happily-ever-after. Of course a good story takes you on a journey to that happy ending that Lizzy creates beautifully and leaves you wanting more! Dark Summer is filled with everything a reader like me can ask for in a YA story, it wasn't mushy at all, everything that took place between Decker and Summer was perfect timing especially where teens are concerned, the magical elements were fascinating and not over done at all. I can hardly wait for the second and third books!

Technology or the hand of God?

I've had my work lost twice since writing Unexpectedly and I'm starting to wonder is it technology or the hand of God? Most likely it's just my really old laptop! I need a knight in shining Apple aluminum casing! :) Thankfully the only thing lost were recent updates so not all is lost, I'd be a crying mess if I lost everything. So now I have to go back and add in everything I can remember which isn't too much. My memory is terrible and what motivates me one day is not necessarily what motivates me the next day. Maybe this is where the hand of God comes in? Perhaps what I wrote previously wasn't really that great and what I will create today will be so much better...? Yeah, I think I'll go with that :) and then back up my work on as many flash drives as I can!

Veiled Eyes (Lake People) by C.L. Bevill Review

Veiled Eyes by C.L. Bevill

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This was very different from what I had expected and I mean that in a good way! I liked all the characters, I especially liked how even the smallest of characters were so well defined. The emotion in this book was so palpable, I felt like I was there with Anna the entire time. The slow progression of Anna and Gabe's relationship was perfectly written. Despite their supernatural connection they didn't just jump into being in love and I really liked that about the story. The town and their back story was the most intriguing and intricately developed. There are twists and turns in the story that kept me captivated to the every end. This story has a little something for every reader, suspense, love and supernatural beings. I highly recommend going on this roller coaster journey so wonderfully created by Bevill and the best part is it's FREE! :)
