Passion Unleashed
Passion Unleashed by Larissa Ione
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this, It was like the mummy gone wild. Why does it take you to get to book 3 to get to the best one out of the series? Wraith’s story is great I loved the adventure in this book it was consistent. Oh and lots and lots of tension which I love. It was great! I loved the chemistry between the two with this third addition to the series. I finally felt that the couple had a real connection with one another. They had time to get know each other. Even with all the chaos going on they still had time for friendship that turned into love.
I loved Serena and her adventurous self she was no crybaby about her situation she always had a snappy come back to anything Wraith said that got her all riled up. I"m sucker for tortured heroes and Wraith fits the bill. I love how his heart went out to Serena and how he protected her even though he needed to kill her to save his brothers and himself as well.
Another thing I love about this book was the return of Kynan and Gem. Man their story is what made me give this book the five stars. Those two are hot and I think the best characters in this whole series so far. They are the real paranormal romance of these books their love story was so sensual and full of tension and heart ache that you just felt everything they went through to be together ahhh! Sigh!
Another added addition I love in this book was the guys finding out they had a brother from another mother.. (Ha-ha just had to say that) Lore, boy was he something can’t wait to read more about him his book is next right? All in all this was a great book full of action pack loveliness that I enjoyed immensely can’t wait to read more after the holidays. Time for some historical romance need to get away from demons for a bit.

Desire Unchained
Desire Unchained by Larissa Ione
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was one of those I love it hate it types. There was the same amount of hate as there was love.
I liked Runa & Shade's story line. It was really thought out well, besides all the sex they had to have. I really
liked how they were forced into bonding with each other through a dream. I saw things in this story that reminded
me of J.R. Ward.The whole torture room thing,(Vishous) and his mate wanting to be tortured with a lil twist to it. Like him actually
doing it to help her rather than just for pleasure.(kinda weirded me out though) I liked that the brothers make an appearance
throughout the book and Tayla too even though she didn't show up to nearly the end, but they did mention her a lot.
But I'm so exhausted from reading this I know it's their nature and what kid of species the Seminus demon are, but come on does this
book have to have that much sex. I'm serious I'm exhausted from all the sex I read. It was way too much for me. This book was all about
lust not love and orgasms after orgasm just not realistic, yes, yes I know f.a.n.t.a.s.y. But really I thin it needs to be believable too at least
for me. It is labeled as a paranormal romance after all. I would have liked a little more tension that just getting down and dirty, but that was
what the author made them out to be like. So I have to respect that.
I have to say that Gem and Kynan need their own story they are more interesting than the leads. Sorry their story just has more depth to it.
I think its because there is more sexual tension between the two. Like these too really know each other and want to know more, and become more. Out of all the brothers I have to say Wraith is my favorite(soft spot for the tortured) I love his care free attitude and can't wait to meet the lady thats gonna rock his world.
4★ reasons
1.Good story line
2.love secondary characters
3.too much sex and orgasms to be believable(OH I JUST GOT IT SEMIN-US..LOL!!!)
4.can't wait for Wraith's story

One Foot In the Grave Book2
One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
One Foot In The Grave
We are back four years later and boy what a busy and lonely 4 it’s been for Cat. Soon that is resolved because Bones comes back into her life. I like how everything is not drawn out. It pretty much gets right to it Theres’s no 10 pages of her trying to decide if she wants him or not after a few dates she knows she’s not giving him up to make every body else happy including her messed up mean mother.
Bones.... One serious bad ass. How awesome is he. He reminds me of Zsadist from J.R. Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood with the personality of Rhage. I thought it was so sweet when he called her a master vamp.
This second book to the serious was action packed and full of fun witty banter between all the characters. Oh and the Cat fight!(get it cat fight.. lol) I wasn't bored for a minute I really enjoyed this book and it's a refreshing change to read about a kick ass girl instead of a guy.

Dark Needs At Night's Edge Review
Dark Needs at Night's Edge by Kresley Cole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well This was pretty good. I liked it but didn't love it. I just wasn't feeling the connection between the two they basically didn't get to know one another till almost then end and then they were professing love.
I loved the story line though just wish more could have happen between the two. It was more like what was going on in their heads than anything else. I also loved everyone else in the book you got a feel of what the whole paranormal world is like and that kept me interested.
One thing I will say is this had the best deflowering of a male virgin ever written it was so beautiful and so so sexy I could read that part over and over again it was that good. Neomi sure did take good care of him. I loved how she was the more experienced one.
So basically my four stars rating is because:
1. best deflowering of a male written
2.loved the paranormal world of the book
3.love the fact the she was a dancer(I love to dance)
4.loved the story line
No five star because plot was drawn out too long and a lil confusing with the whole dream demon and rouge vampire issue, and also slow
connection between the Conrad and Neomi. I really want to give it 3stars but because that love scene was the best I have to give it up.

Destined for an Early Grave
Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well I have to say, I am exhausted from reading this. There was so much action/drama going on is this book starting from page 5. It didn't stop, the emotion level in this book was high. Cat and Bones went through so much to make their relationship work. We found out a huge surprise from someone from Cats past trying his best to break them up, which I believe he did an excellent job of doing. They were in for the struggle of their lives.
There were a lot of surprises and interesting new characters and some old that I came to love. Like the ghost, Spade, and Vlad. I'm still not sure about Menchres, he comes off as a little to stand offish and gaurded to me. I think Bones and Cats love will stand the test of time. But boy what they put you through when you read this. Their story grips you to keep reading to find out what happens next. They had the worst breakup ever, had me crying and feeling like I lost someone and they had the best makeup ever, made my heart swell with pride over Bones. Cat's so lucky. :)
I have only 4 dislikes(reason for the 4★'s) one was not enough romance that I'd prefer, but is was good enough that I really didn't miss it. The second was I felt like I couldn't get a rest in there was so much moving from place to place no one ever stayed still. I was getting dizzy with all the moves. The third is someone died that I didn't think should have. It took away from someone finally having a happy ending that I think desperately deserves one. And last the Ending I was like "WHAT THE" where was the rest after that big showdown with Bones&Cat's enemy, your gonna leave it that? I thought the ending was weak even if there is another addition to this series.
Over all it was a great exciting action/drama packed read and I will be looking forward to reading all her books now! Jeanine frost is officially going on my fav author list.... Thank you Jeanine for your wonderful adventures books.

Nightshade by Andrea Cremer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Well like my goodreads friend Katie said, "I liked it but didn't love it." Thats how I feel. It was a fun read I will admit, it was also very sexy for a young adult novel definitely something my 14 year old daughter couldn't read I'd say 16 maybe 17 or older. This was a different take on shapeshifers that turn into wolves. They were called the guardians and had a witches and wizards that were basically there master that called themselves the keepers, They had enemies as well that were called searchers and I have yet to know what their all about and why they are enemies. To me this was like Twilight mixed with Harry Potter without the vampires. There is the big popular trend of the love triangle and wraiths floating about they even had succubus and a acromantula (big big giant spider).
Calla the alpha to me comes off as a hormonal girl in desperate need of some boy attention, and boy does she get it with Ren her soon to be mate forced by the keepers since they were born and the new guy Shay that has some hidden secret past That the keepers want kept secret.
I was shooting for Ren I think he could be good for her. Shay's to beta for me but she did have some kind of connection with him that I totally missed. I'm not doing good with this review there is so much I want to say but cant. over all it was a good read I did like the more sexual tension of this books it reminded me of being a teen again that first feeling of sexual tension and first loves... sigh! I will say I am looking forward to reading the next installment of this story and hope it's thats one more and not another 4 to 8 book series. I have had about enough of those.
I would definitely recommend this book for those who like or loved Twilight, Harry Potter, TMI, Shiver. Especially the romance part of them.

The Mortal Instruments
This last installment,( well I thought it was the last installment till I saw from her website that she was adding on three more books to this series) Was great lots of action, drama, and fun banter. lots of twist and turns, and finally the truth about everyone comes out. ThankGoodness the whole brother and sister thing was driving me nuts.
I think I've said this before that this reminds me a lot of Harry potter but with its own unique story. Cassandra Clare is an amazing author just as good as J.K. Rowling IMO. I had so much fun reading this, and I can't wait to read the next installments of this series.

The Vampire Academy Series
Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was a different read for me but I liked it a lot. The characters jumped off the page. I love Rose and her sassiness. I love lead girl characters that are bad a$$ and girly at the same time there was a lot of high school drama but thats what you expect from teenagers even if they are vampires. I love the new take on the vampires too or as they call them Moroi which are the vampire royalty, and the dhampir that are the half vampire-guardians of the mori, and then the strigoi, the vampires that have basically gone rogue, took me a while to finally get what each were since it was new to me but I got it. I also liked the bonding thing that was going on with Rose and Lissa that was very interesting. The love interest between Lissa and Christian and Rose and Dimitri was pretty juicy. I can't wait to see whats gonna happen with them, Although Dimitril was yummy, he was older than Rose by 7 years and I hope they at least wait till she's legal for there attraction to move forward.
This book held my attention from the first page. With each page I turned I wanted to know what was going to happen next. This was one of those stay up all night reads. Overall this was a thrilling read with mysterious things going on, back stabbing, brake-ups and make-ups, forbidden love and a shocking ending that had a twist. Can't wait to read the next one.
P.S Rose's "doll face" "little girl" remarks were hilarious :)

Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This Second book was just as good as the first if not better. But thats what you want in a series books right? You want them to get better and better. This book had me on a roller coaster ride with Rose's emotions, it was like watching a good drama movie, with loads of confrontations with Rose and her mom and Dimitri. I was really glad we finally got to meet the woman who gave birth to this firecracker.
I loved so much in this book it's hard to type it all down. It kept me up till 3 in the morn. reading I could not put it down then I was crying YES! actually crying the ending was powerful and full of suspense and so sad.
The only down side to this book was in the beginning I felt like I was re- reading the first book all over again with all the info of the first book. I felt the prologue was enough to catch us up on everything.
Besides all that I loved it and can't wait to read more especially to find out more about Lissa's power's and the new guy in town Adrian... :)

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ok one of my favorite lines from this book.
Page 388 "I called a warning to Christian, just as a Strigoi grabbed him. But Christian was fast. Flames wreathed the Strigoi's head. He screamed and released Christian, trying frantically to put the flames out. The Strigoi never saw me coming with the stake. The whole thing took under a minute. Christian and I exchanged looks. Yeah. We were Badasses."..... Rose.
This was amazing I had so much fun reading this. Richelle Mead is an entertaining author. Once again I went on a roller coaster ride of emotions. These characters literally come off the page and into your life. I truly felt everything each character was going through. There is enough of everything in this book. True love, jealousy, anger, suspense, mystery, and BIG TIME surprises.
Again there is soo much in this book that was good I can't put it all down, but I will say that I liked how they are all growing up. Lissa and Christian getting some backbone, and fighting for what the believe. Rose getting her head together of what she wants and whats important. And Dimitri. Can I say yum yum, and wow, and omg! I cried again. Yep people it made me cry again.
Well If you've read the first two and enjoyed them your gonna love this one. They get better and better. I'd love to give you details about what this book is about but that is what the description on the back of the books are for and I don't think you'd want to read a 5 page review. he he. :) I just hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Can I just say that this would be a good replacement for the old series Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
I can see this as a tv series. It's been a while since we had a good kicking a$$ girl on tv lately. would you agree?
P.S. The fighting scenes were awesome!
View all my reviews
I will say this again that each book gets better and better. The only problem I had was that it took me 282 pages to get there I guess we needed a build up, but I don’t think it needed to be that long of one. Especially with 2 more books to the series to go.
Things that kept me going up to that point of the book was we got to keep up with lissa and see how she was doing with Rose gone. We also got to keep up with Adrian and Christian too.
So when I finally got to page 282 and found out about our good boy gone bad I was devastated I felt like Rose did (It’s still Dimitri, but Isn’t) I was starting to think that she should have stayed at school and gotten closer to Adrian. He’s starting to look like a saint compared with Dimitri. Man has Dimitri gone cold I’m not sure what his feelings are for her anymore.
Things got a little scary for Lissa. With Rose being gone we get introduced to a new girl named Avery. This Avery girl was a trip to me. She was also a bad influence. And we find out that she’s a spirit user too.
The suspense towards the end in is amazing. I felt like I was watching a movie. Wow Rose goes through so much. I’m so tired for her, that girl needs some serious rest. By the time she got rescued and went back to school, I was so worn out. I need a break from this series going to read something in between. That aught to tell this is good it got me all emotionally stressed out. LOL!

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This 5th addition to this series left me with a big WOW! I love how this author draws you into her stories. There was so much happing this time around. We had a lot of action and drama that makes reading so much fun.
Lissa finally stepped up to the plate and became the stronger and more mature person, How she saved Dimitri was so beautiful. That was a crying moment for me. I liked how she told Rose off when she was being an idiot over Dimitri, that was a good scene too. I even liked the way her Jealousy with Christian was playing out. It was so sweet and innocent I'm glad they worked it all out though.
As for Rose man she is still taking me on Roller-coaster rides. I thought with the last books she was getting more and more mature, Don't get me wrong she is still had her sarcastic attitude and spare of the moment thinking that I love, But it was a bit over the top. Then Again I understand the love of her life is back and rejecting her, whatz a girl supposed to do, sit and act like everything's ok? Not! She instead goes on the rebound and almost sleeps with Adrian. I was so happy that they didn't. That would have made thing worse for them seeing as she is so clearly still in love with Dimitri.
Adrian I just can't see Rose being with him IMO. He just doesn't seem to have grown up to me. He's just a big kid. I think he should consider doing something good and permanent with his powers or go on a spirit finding journey to learn more about them. He seems like a character thrown in for just some distraction. I could personally do without him.
Dimitri though I am happy that he is back and not a stalking killing machine I'm so sad that he doesn't want Rose anymore. What happen to the "we are meant to be together" line. But I understand what he's going through. He became someone he was against becoming.
All in all this was an exciting read full of surprises I did not expect. I'm still in shock of what happen to Rose and the Queen. I can hardly wait for the next and I hope final installment of this series I'm not sure I can take any more of this roller coaster ride I've been on for the last two months... lol

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
You have this great big bang in the end of book 5 right? Rose gets accused of killing the Queen then Dimitri comes back from being a killer It was a wow kind of book.
Ok so here's what I thought about book6 first half..... Boring I mean don't don't get me wrong I enjoyed my fav. girl Rose with her smart ass mouth comments and the trip to the wilderness was entertaing a lot but of the book just seemed like fill-ins to. I found myself skimming a lot. I got bored I even fell asleep on it at one point. I missed the fun banter between Rose and Dimitri, I didn't feel the connection anymore and when she switched into Lissa mine I couldn't wait for het to get out I was that bored with it....
Second half.... Finally the book began for me the action was amazing the connection between Dimitri and Rose was back on track I loved it the twist and turns of who actually killed the queen was fun very surprising I sooo didn't see that coming. But in the end I was sad I think she could have ended things with Adrian better that was so messed up what happen to him. and then Sydney there is definitely room for more to this series with the other characters No more Rose and Lissa though I just about had enough of them and their rollercoster ride. I mean honestly she could have just added from page 400 to the rest of book 5 and ended then....
Heres my couple Happy reading

This was a different read for me but I liked it a lot. The characters jumped off the page. I love Rose and her sassiness. I love lead girl characters that are bad a$$ and girly at the same time there was a lot of high school drama but thats what you expect from teenagers even if they are vampires. I love the new take on the vampires too or as they call them Moroi which are the vampire royalty, and the dhampir that are the half vampire-guardians of the mori, and then the strigoi, the vampires that have basically gone rogue, took me a while to finally get what each were since it was new to me but I got it. I also liked the bonding thing that was going on with Rose and Lissa that was very interesting. The love interest between Lissa and Christian and Rose and Dimitri was pretty juicy. I can't wait to see whats gonna happen with them, Although Dimitril was yummy, he was older than Rose by 7 years and I hope they at least wait till she's legal for there attraction to move forward.
This book held my attention from the first page. With each page I turned I wanted to know what was going to happen next. This was one of those stay up all night reads. Overall this was a thrilling read with mysterious things going on, back stabbing, brake-ups and make-ups, forbidden love and a shocking ending that had a twist. Can't wait to read the next one.
P.S Rose's "doll face" "little girl" remarks were hilarious :)

Frostbite (Vampire Academy, #2) by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This Second book was just as good as the first if not better. But thats what you want in a series books right? You want them to get better and better. This book had me on a roller coaster ride with Rose's emotions, it was like watching a good drama movie, with loads of confrontations with Rose and her mom and Dimitri. I was really glad we finally got to meet the woman who gave birth to this firecracker.
I loved so much in this book it's hard to type it all down. It kept me up till 3 in the morn. reading I could not put it down then I was crying YES! actually crying the ending was powerful and full of suspense and so sad.
The only down side to this book was in the beginning I felt like I was re- reading the first book all over again with all the info of the first book. I felt the prologue was enough to catch us up on everything.
Besides all that I loved it and can't wait to read more especially to find out more about Lissa's power's and the new guy in town Adrian... :)

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ok one of my favorite lines from this book.
Page 388 "I called a warning to Christian, just as a Strigoi grabbed him. But Christian was fast. Flames wreathed the Strigoi's head. He screamed and released Christian, trying frantically to put the flames out. The Strigoi never saw me coming with the stake. The whole thing took under a minute. Christian and I exchanged looks. Yeah. We were Badasses."..... Rose.
This was amazing I had so much fun reading this. Richelle Mead is an entertaining author. Once again I went on a roller coaster ride of emotions. These characters literally come off the page and into your life. I truly felt everything each character was going through. There is enough of everything in this book. True love, jealousy, anger, suspense, mystery, and BIG TIME surprises.
Again there is soo much in this book that was good I can't put it all down, but I will say that I liked how they are all growing up. Lissa and Christian getting some backbone, and fighting for what the believe. Rose getting her head together of what she wants and whats important. And Dimitri. Can I say yum yum, and wow, and omg! I cried again. Yep people it made me cry again.
Well If you've read the first two and enjoyed them your gonna love this one. They get better and better. I'd love to give you details about what this book is about but that is what the description on the back of the books are for and I don't think you'd want to read a 5 page review. he he. :) I just hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Can I just say that this would be a good replacement for the old series Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
I can see this as a tv series. It's been a while since we had a good kicking a$$ girl on tv lately. would you agree?
P.S. The fighting scenes were awesome!

I will say this again that each book gets better and better. The only problem I had was that it took me 282 pages to get there I guess we needed a build up, but I don’t think it needed to be that long of one. Especially with 2 more books to the series to go.
Things that kept me going up to that point of the book was we got to keep up with lissa and see how she was doing with Rose gone. We also got to keep up with Adrian and Christian too.
So when I finally got to page 282 and found out about our good boy gone bad I was devastated I felt like Rose did (It’s still Dimitri, but Isn’t) I was starting to think that she should have stayed at school and gotten closer to Adrian. He’s starting to look like a saint compared with Dimitri. Man has Dimitri gone cold I’m not sure what his feelings are for her anymore.
Things got a little scary for Lissa. With Rose being gone we get introduced to a new girl named Avery. This Avery girl was a trip to me. She was also a bad influence. And we find out that she’s a spirit user too.
The suspense towards the end in is amazing. I felt like I was watching a movie. Wow Rose goes through so much. I’m so tired for her, that girl needs some serious rest. By the time she got rescued and went back to school, I was so worn out. I need a break from this series going to read something in between. That aught to tell this is good it got me all emotionally stressed out. LOL!

Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This 5th addition to this series left me with a big WOW! I love how this author draws you into her stories. There was so much happing this time around. We had a lot of action and drama that makes reading so much fun.
Lissa finally stepped up to the plate and became the stronger and more mature person, How she saved Dimitri was so beautiful. That was a crying moment for me. I liked how she told Rose off when she was being an idiot over Dimitri, that was a good scene too. I even liked the way her Jealousy with Christian was playing out. It was so sweet and innocent I'm glad they worked it all out though.
As for Rose man she is still taking me on Roller-coaster rides. I thought with the last books she was getting more and more mature, Don't get me wrong she is still had her sarcastic attitude and spare of the moment thinking that I love, But it was a bit over the top. Then Again I understand the love of her life is back and rejecting her, whatz a girl supposed to do, sit and act like everything's ok? Not! She instead goes on the rebound and almost sleeps with Adrian. I was so happy that they didn't. That would have made thing worse for them seeing as she is so clearly still in love with Dimitri.
Adrian I just can't see Rose being with him IMO. He just doesn't seem to have grown up to me. He's just a big kid. I think he should consider doing something good and permanent with his powers or go on a spirit finding journey to learn more about them. He seems like a character thrown in for just some distraction. I could personally do without him.
Dimitri though I am happy that he is back and not a stalking killing machine I'm so sad that he doesn't want Rose anymore. What happen to the "we are meant to be together" line. But I understand what he's going through. He became someone he was against becoming.
All in all this was an exciting read full of surprises I did not expect. I'm still in shock of what happen to Rose and the Queen. I can hardly wait for the next and I hope final installment of this series I'm not sure I can take any more of this roller coaster ride I've been on for the last two months... lol

Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
You have this great big bang in the end of book 5 right? Rose gets accused of killing the Queen then Dimitri comes back from being a killer It was a wow kind of book.
Ok so here's what I thought about book6 first half..... Boring I mean don't don't get me wrong I enjoyed my fav. girl Rose with her smart ass mouth comments and the trip to the wilderness was entertaing a lot but of the book just seemed like fill-ins to. I found myself skimming a lot. I got bored I even fell asleep on it at one point.

Nobody's Hero 4★ Rating
Melanie Harvey writes a wonderful story about a white rapper WM and a black BW author who fall in love. I have to say this was a wonderful surprise and a interesting way to write about an interracial couple in a different way. One you don't hear about that often if not at all.
I have to admit at first I was kinda wondering how all this was going to play out. But as I read, and kept on reading. I got all happy and had that fuzzy feeling inside. The way Ricky's mind works was amazing to me and Carolyn was a interesting person herself she was so sweet. There was so much tension between the two you could really feel it. The love is strong between the two you really root for them to work it all out.
This is a short read but you don't even notice because its almost like your standing in the room watching everything thats going on. The dialogue got to me a little bit, because I sometimes couldn't tell who was talking, but then again it reminded me of watching Iron man 2. The dialogue was fast pace you had to pay attention and keep up..lol
Any-ho This was a lovely read I'm glad I found it. I love how they take a chance on each other and respect one another Ricky's lyrics had me tuning in to Eminem even though author used her own stuff, I couldn't help but pull out some of Eminem's song to get the feel of Ricky as a white rapper. It's so awesome.
I recommend this to all my goodreads friends who love a different take on an interracial couple and a good reading challenge with lots of tension. Warning Ricky is a rapper so you know the language can get a bit rough. but you can get passed it cause it was well written and fit with the character.

Angels' Blood
Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Angels’ Blood
Being introduced to a new author is all ways a challenge for me, But the girl at my bookstore said this was a must read. “If you liked J.R. Ward then you will definitely like Nalini Singh.” She said to me. She talked so highly of this book and had such a glow on her face when she was telling me about the book that I just had to get it. I’m easily stirred when someone is excited to tell me about a book.
Now to the reasons of why I like this book. I love her descriptions of the Angels and their wings. I also love the different ethnicities of everyone; the book definitely has a lot of people from various cultures. I like the romance between the Archangel Raphael and Elena the hunter after about 100 or so pages the hunter lost her bitchiness and became more likable.
The reasons for the 4 stars is I know this was a urban fantasy romance story but I would have preferred her say it was just a urban fantasy because there wasn’t a whole lot of romance between the two but I have to admit there were some good tension I would have liked it better if the author would have left the gruesome details out of the killings by one particular angle. What he did to the humans made me a little nauseas at times. I would have more preferred the details of Raphael and Elena’s romantic moments. What I couldn’t understand during the ending battle was where were all the other angels why didn’t he have help I thought that they mention in the beginning that it was agreed they all were going to kill the bad Angel. But then again I could have forgotten something I due tend to read fast sometimes. ☺
One more thing I have to say about the battle was that it was great and full of excitement. Over all it was a very good story with some wonderful surprises in the end. I will be defiantly be reading the next book to this series.

Going To Far
Going To Far My Rating 4★
This was a sweet romantic read. It had a mixture of romance. mystery, teen angst, and some suspense. I enjoyed all the characters. The chemistry between Meg and John was so sweet. I love the the banter between them and how he was the shy one and she the one who said and did any and everything. There was one particular part int the book I loved that was so Meg.
"I leaned forward until my boobs sat on the table like a set of oversize salt and pepper shakers. The tit table.".....
I just died laughing, her dry sarcasm was witty it matched her blue and purple hair. This book was a quick fun read great for weekend reading or something to take for a long ride. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books

Go Fetch!!!!
Go fetch.....
Well this book was a surprise I heard that it was a funny, hilarious read, but I got so much more from this book it was all that and more I enjoyed it so much.
I have to admit the potty mouths were kind of a put off but other than that it was fine I have read much worst language before, so let me get to the point of what I liked about this book. First of all it took me three days to read. I could have read it in less than one but I wanted it to last longer and that’s when I know I have a keeper book.
The characters in this book were a amazing strong welled and good hearted towards on another the banter between the main hero and heroine was too funny, I’m talking laughing out loud in the middle of the night, wake my husband up funny. I have never laughed so much reading a book. The loves scenes were even better. I have been trying to get away from erotic books but to me it was well written, and it was, what it was, some good lovemaking.
It was a fast paste book but slowed down enough for you to get the feel of everything. Even though I started with the second book to this series Shelly L. gives you enough description with out boring you about the pack and previous characters from the first book.
Miki, that Miki she was awesome, she was one bad a$$ chick she took no mess and that Conall Wow!! All I can say is just wow. I like the fact that she was scared of letting herself go with Conall but didn’t drag it out to the point were you’re like “come on get with it girl”. But she wasn’t, it all just flowed really nicely. After reading this book I am defiantly a fan Ms. Shelly L and cant wait to get her other books. I can’t wait to read about Miki in her first book especially
