REVIEW:    Blood Debt (Touched Series)  by:  Nancy Straight


Summary by GoodReads:

Her whole life, it had just been the two of them. Before her mother’s last breath, she gave Camille the information she had craved her entire life: the identity of her father. Daring to contact him, Camille was welcomed by an entire family she never knew existed. But nothing comes without a price, as she discovers when her family claims a legendary heritage tracing back to a centaur touched by Zeus.

As she learns the secrets of her Centaur bloodline, she is drawn into a forbidden love with Drake. Her life may be the blood debt required to pay for her mother’s transgressions. The same person who once held her mother captive, and forced her into decades of hiding, now controls Camille. Her only chance is to seek a piece of her mother’s past that will win her freedom and the life she desperately wants.




My Review:

First of all,  The cover of this book is super pretty. <3  I LOVE this book.   I love my vampire, werewolves, fey, zombies & all other paranormal books but I haven't read a book about CENTAURS yet and Nancy brought it home with this book!  This book is a definite page turner.  I was always wanting more from this book.  I loved how the story unfolds infront of you but I also enjoyed learning about centaurs and the mystery behind them!

Blood Debt was wonderful.  The story, the characters were GREAT!  I'm so grateful that I won this book!  You fall inlove with the main characters of this book.  Drake is gorgeous and Camille is a strong women.  I also like that the characters are in their early twenties too.  You need to read this book and become apart of this Centaur life!


* * * * *  FIVE FABULOUS STARS!!

Next book in the Touched Series is  CENTAUR LEGACY  (due: Nov. 15!)

REVIEW: Sweet Evil [by: Wendy Higgins]

Hello Lovlies! I'm on a roll today! I read books faster than I write reviews.  I won this book on a giveaway.  I can't remember where from?  Oopsies. 

My Review:  I knew this book was going to be good because everyone told me it was amazing.  I didn't realize that I was going to like it SO much!  I LOVE the concept of the story and how it involves Lucifer, Demons and the Seven Deadly Sins [these sort of things facinate me].  This book was right up my alley.  The main characters Anna & Kaidan are great together.  They are drawn to each other like crazy and I love it.  The whole idea that they can't be together because their nephilim just adds to the greatness of this book.  In some ways I feel sorry for Kaidan because of what he has to do for his father, the demon of Lust.  But I'm hopeful that some how things will work out!  I am a HUGE fan of Kaidan Rowe.  He's another of my book boyfriends.  :) I can't wait for book #2!

***** 5 Stars!

Hey Lovlies!  I found this online and thought it was SO COOL!  :)  I think the guy being Beau Vincent is actor Alex Petyferr [sp?]  I LOVE the Vincent Boys!
REVIEWThe Vincent Boys [by: Abbi Glines]

WELCOME Lovlies!  I've been reading A LOT lately but I haven't had time to do any reviews.  I decided to do this one because Abbi Glines is one of my FAVORITE authors!  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE everything she writes, seriously.

My Thoughts:
I loved this book.  The love triangle between Ashton, Beau and Sawyer is heartbreaking.  All three of them are close in the story but right from the beginning I knew Ashton [Ash] belonged with Beau.  I really enjoyed watching them rekindle their friendship but also ignite their romance!  Ash & Beau belonged together.  I just wish Ash didn't cheat on Sawyer because he's a nice guy too.  This book ended just how I like my books to end.  I'm glad that Ash and Beau are together.  The story ends with the twist too which I like.  I wonder what's going to happen in The Vincent Brothers since now we know Sawyer and Beau are brothers!  Oh, those Vincent boys!

*****  Five Stars! Amazing Book!

Ending Notes:

I found 4! Count them 4 covers for this book! Ahh!  Which one is your favorite!?

REVIEW:  Shadow & Bone (Grisha Trilogy) by:  Leigh Bardugo




Hey Lovlies! This is my first review so bare with me!  I would LOVE LOVE your feedback as well, I'm always looking to improve and for advice.  OK, Let's do this!

I borrowed this book from the library  (I LOVE my library, they have everything).  I heard that this book was good but I didn't realize it was AMAZING until I started to read it.  I started this book and around 11pm one night and stayed up until 3am to finish it!  I simply couldn't put it down and I HAD to know what happened next.



I'm going to be honest, I thought the title was weird but it totally fits with the story of the book and is brilliant.  Sometimes after reading a book,  I don't get how the title fits with the book but this title fits perrrrfectly!

The Storyline is BRILLIANT!  I LOVE imaginary places!  I love that this book has a map in it too.  I referrenced the map a lot to help me out with things.  The journey that the characters go through in Shadow & Bone is exciting and thrilling.   They are always running from something and there's excitement around every corner!

I really enjoyed the characters of this book as well.  Alina is a very strong, brave and caring lead in this book and I LOVE her!  I was so excited when she was Grisha AND that she was a rare Grisha (sun summoner) so cool!  Mal is just the ideal guy, he's great.  He will do anything to protect/help Alina and she will do that same for him.  I love their relationship.  The Darkling!  Oh that devil!  I actually liked him in the beginning of the book because I felt like he was misunderstood by everyone.  I was hoping that Alina would change everyone's misunderstandings and realize he's a good guy!  BUT then he reveals himself as pure evil!  He fooled me, I like him and now I don't.  Boo.

I really like the 'made-up' names for things in this book as well.  For example:  Volcra - the flesh eating beasts.  And also the different ranks people have.  SO COOL.  I just eat that sort of thing up! 

I loved the imaginary world in Shadow & Bone! 

 * * * * *  5 Stars

Thanks Lovlies!!
