Promises by Marie Sexton
5.0
I started reading this book right before bed. I figured I’d read about a chapter and then go to sleep, but that’s not what happened. Next thing I knew, the sun was coming up and I still didn’t want to put the book down!
PROMISES is about as sweet and loving as a romance can get. I fell in love with Jared and Matt early on and really rooted for them.
Being the only gay man in Coda, Colorado (outside of the 60+ year old band teacher at the high school), Jared is lonely when it comes to romance and friendship, although he does have a great and supportive family. Enter Matt, new to town and lonely as well. They become fast friends and the reader watches their friendship blossom into something more as the two men bond over football, beer, and a love for the outdoors. But it’s not all sunshine and roses for the pair. Matt’s suffered under the weight of disapproval from an alcoholic, homophobic father his whole life and it’s not the kind of thing he can just shake off. Jared has his own problems as he realizes he’s not as blasé to the opinion and censure of others as he thought he was.
There were parts of this story that brought tears to my eyes and tugged at my heartstrings. When they finally got their happy ending (and I flipped to the back to make SURE they had a happy ending early on because my heart just couldn’t take it if they didn’t) I wanted to stand up and cheer.
I highly recommend this story to romance lovers everywhere and will definitely pick up other books by this author.

The Grave Winner by Lindsey R. Loucks
5.0
I received this book in exchange for an honest review (LoP or Lovers of Paranormal)
On the day of her mom’s funeral, 15 year old Leigh sees the reanimated corpse of a recently deceased classmate lurking in the graveyard. While the townspeople and the media find this a fascinating miracle, Leigh has firsthand knowledge of the wrongness (not to mention smell) of said miracle. She gets it into her head that if she buries her mother’s favorite things with her, it will somehow prevent her too from rising. That turns out to be a really bad idea, sparking off a chain reaction involving sorceresses, the living dead, and lots and lots of spiders.
This book is a mild YA horror with a dash of romance. The plot is very original and unpredictable, and Leigh and her best friend, Jo, are great characters with very true to life personalities and great voice. While a love triangle does pop up over the course of the book, it takes a back seat to the rest of the plot.
My favorite character in this book was Sarah, the resurrected prom queen. The poor dead girl was dragged into the whole mess just because Tweedledee and Tweedledum needed her grave. Ultimately, Sarah ends up being both the victim and the hero of this tale, and a more tragic hero I have never seen. She committed suicide and now she is the living dead, forced to return to the world she was willing to die to get away from and rotting away piece by piece. She’s decaying, smells to holy hell, and can’t speak, but does she stay in her room and lament her fate? Possibly. But she also tries her damnedest to help Leigh, which really speaks to her character.
The story was pretty low on angst despite some of the main concepts like death and sacrifice, but emotive enough for the reader to make an emotional connection. All in all, this was an enjoyable read that I would recommend to other paranormal lovers.

Demonic Dora by Claire Chilton
2.0
I received a free copy of this book to review
Demonic Dora is a farcical, black comedy about teenage Dora who hates her life and decides summoning a demon will solve all her problems. It doesn’t. What it does is lead to her almost being burned at the stake by her fanatical religious parents. Luckily, the demon she summoned saves her – by dragging her to Hell with him. Dora loves Hell and thrives there, until she realizes all isn’t as it seems and then things go straight to, well, Hell.
To me the humor of this book is its main focus, the plot and characters seemingly built around it, so if you’re not into poo jokes and slapstick gags, this book isn’t for you. While the comedy in this book didn’t exactly match up with my sense of humor, I described some of the scenes to a sophomore in high school and she howled with laughter, so the fact that it wasn't right for me doesn't mean it's not right for others.
I don’t think I’ll read any other books in this series, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to people I know who would enjoy this brand of comedy (and let’s face it, we all know some that do)

Dead [a Lot] by Howard Odentz
5.0
I was initially drawn in by the cover of this book. The bad news is the cover has very little to do with the actual book. The good news is it's still a really good book.
Dead (A Lot) follows the Light twins, Tripp and Trina, as they maneuver through a world overrun with Necropoxy, a virus that turns people into zombies, and make their way to their aunt's farm in the country, picking up stray survivors along the way.
The story is told in the first person POV of Tripp Light. I'm not going to lie, he's not perfect. He's a bit selfish, a bit self-centered, and a bit lacking in the tact and sensitivity departments. All in all, he's your average teenage boy. The voice and characterization is spot on and I loved it for that.
Right out of the gate, the plot is fast-paced and action packed (like any good zombie book should be) and infused with some great humor. It's a fun and entertaining ride and I was sad when it can to the end. Over the course of the book, I really came to care about the motley cast of characters and enjoyed reading their interactions.
The gore level is HIGH in this book; more so than I was expecting based on the cover. There were a few parts that made me a bit squeamish, so if you're sensitive to that kind of thing, be forewarned.
I would definitely recommend adding this book to your shelf if you're a fan of zombies. And even if you're not a fan, I still think you should give this book a try, it will make a great introduction to the genre.

Understanding Self Worth: Building Confidence and Self-Acceptance by Karen C. Eddington
5.0
I received a free copy of the this book to review.
Serena has grown up in a world where women are possessions and male warlocks use hexes, spells, and the threat of being tarnished to keep them under their thumbs. Over the course of her story, Serena realizes women are people too and deserving of freedom and respect. Her journey to realization is like that of a blossoming rose, slowly and gently unfurling into the sun. A fitting comparison, since in Chardonia women are not even considered worthy of light and are often left in the dark – both literally and figuratively.
This book is categorized as YA, which I think is inaccurate. Most of the main characters are in their upper teens, however, in this world and in this time, I don’t believe that age holds true to their level of maturity. Serena is seventeen, yes, but she is a grown woman in this society, engaged to be married and living in the home of her fiancé. The fiancé himself is nineteen, but he is master of an estate and head of his household. In fact, if we hadn’t been told their ages, we never would have guessed since they don’t read “teen” at all.
While this is a Fantasy, there’s a bit of everything in this book: romance, a little action, friendship, family, and even some espionage. The world building is done very well, fitting into the story organically and really allowing the reader to become subtly emerged into the setting. The characters are interesting and engaging, although some of the male warlocks come off so vile as to become almost caricatures (possibly a deliberate choice). While this book has romantic elements, they are all very tame, none going farther than a few sweet kisses here and there.
I really liked this book and would recommend it not only to lovers of fantasy, but to lovers of historical romance as well since it has a bit of a historical romance feel to it (manors, servants, proper dinners, fancy dresses, ball gowns, and a certain formal way of speaking). The writer has a lovely writing style I very much enjoyed reading and I will absolutely be on the lookout for more books in this series as well as more works by the same author.

Anarchy by James Treadwell
4.0
The second book in the Advent Trilogy, Anarchy tells the tales of three very different women whose lives intersect in a world where the veil between the possible and the impossible has been torn asunder.
Anarchy is a beautifully written fantasy book with an ethereal, literary quality to it. The descriptions create haunting and detailed imagery and the characters are deep and well-rounded. Foreshadowing is used well, keeping the reader on edge and instilling an awful sense of foreboding.
The plot is slow going and the thing I found to be the most off-putting was plodding along in one of the slowly building stories, finally getting to an attention grabbing spot, and then veering away from that story and going into one of the other two. This got very frustrating. It’s interesting to note, however, that my journey reading this book cleverly mirrored those of the protagonists: slowly moving toward a destination, thinking I’m getting somewhere only to experience a setback and finding myself at almost square one again, and finally finally getting near where I want to be, only to be dismayed at the reality of it when I get there.
I learned the hard way that this is not really a standalone story. I jumped into this book blind, having not read the first in the trilogy, and I never quite found my footing. Nonetheless, the book was intriguing and I find myself wanting to read the one that comes before it to see if my understanding of the events laid out becomes any clearer.
I would recommend this book to fantasy lovers who like their reads to have a more literary flair and a dash or two of surrealism, but highly suggest reading Advent first – as I should have done.

Words Once Spoken by Carly Drake
5.0
Words Once Spoken is the magical story of Evelyn, a young lady on the brink of adulthood, who has always been “different”. From childhood, she’s never liked the indoors, preferring to run wild and free in the forest with her horse and bow, and she’s never been able to stand the taste of anything that comes from animals, choosing instead to eat the flowers and fruits provided by nature. Since Evelyn is coming of age to be married, her mother drags her to the King’s court to be introduced into society. What Evelyn is actually introduced to is a whole new world unlike any she’s ever known before.
I was a little unsure going in since the description and opening scene gave me flashbacks to Disney’s Brave, but quickly realized this was a story unique unto itself. The plot moves along at an even clip, not fast-paced or too slow, until the end when it starts to really take off before the climax. The world-building is great, even though sometimes I felt like the main character wasn’t reacting as much as I thought she should be. I mean, this is a fantasy and there were fantastical scenes and creatures being introduced and she took it all in stride. Then again, Evie is a strong, level-headed female, a hunter in her own right, so maybe it wasn’t an odd reaction for her to have at that.
There’s a love triangle in this book, but not really (I think it’s pretty obvious that Evie prefers one over the other). There’s also a lot of instant attraction going on, but I think it has more to do with kindred spirits recognizing each other than insta-lust or love at first sight.
Words Once Spoken ended up being one of my favorite books so far this year and one I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up and read again (I don’t give that honor to many). I would love to read, and will be on the lookout for, more books set in this universe and more books by this author.

Ghost House: Book One by Nevi Star, Dani Hermit, Dani R.R. Hermit
3.0
I liked the plot, I liked the characters, I liked the backstory, and I liked The Parliament of Twilight idea – I liked almost everything about this book until the last 20%.
This book starts out on the debauched/naughty side and ends on the gruesome side – I was NOT expecting the level of gruesome to be so extreme and I was pretty shocked (I’m not going to lie; I had to skim some parts). The interactions between Jacob and Brodie were great; I loved how their personalities played off each other. Jacob has been through some stuff in his life, some bad bad stuff, so I understood why he was the way he was (he is not a good person, living a very selfish and debauched lifestyle). I really liked Brodie, I thought he was cute and sweet and just an all-around a great character – which only added to my shock and horror towards the end of the book.
I have no complaints about the writing style, characterizations, or world-building in this book. The sum of my dislike extends completely from my personal tastes and how they differed from the direction this book took in those last few chapters. If someone is into erotic horror, then this book is right up there alley, but it just wasn't for me.

Hot Blooded by Amanda Carlson
5.0
In Full Blooded, Jessica McClain became the first female werewolf to ever exist. She also gained a mate, Rourke, a sexy, muscled, tattooed mercenary werecat - only to have him ripped away by his evil ex, Selene, the powerful Lunar Goddess. Hot Blooded, the second book in the Jessica McClain series, finds Jessica and her assembled motley crew battling a series of supernatural creatures as she tries to save her mate from the sadistic goddess.
Hot Blooded is action packed from beginning to end. Butt-kickings and magic are thrown around about every other page and each member of the crew – wolves, vamps, and human alike, are all able to get in on the action at some point along the journey. A bunch of new supernatural creatures are introduced and we learn about the Underworld and the Demon Sect, as well as some additional details about the Vampire and Shifter Sects (which were introduced in the previous book).
With Full Blooded I had kind of a love/hate relationship with Jessica’s character due to her glaring specialness (I love me some kickass female leads, but she's not only the only female werewolf in existence, she's also some super powerful Lycan form of werewolf that hasn't existed for thousands of years and her mate is this super hot mercenary who's not only strong and powerful, but the last of his kind and so sexy women fight over him - but don't worry, he only wants Jessica). Thankfully, Hot Blooded had me leaning more towards the love side. Jessica’s still so terribly special and powerful, even more special and powerful than previously thought actually, but this is tapered by her not really knowing what to do with it most of the time. It also helped that I was cheering for her to beat that man-stealing ex down. I loved the whole battling the evil ex thing. For anyone who’s ever had to deal with their significant other’s sexy, successful ex whom you just wanted to punch in the face, this is total wish fulfillment. It also was great to watch a bit of gender role reversal with Jessica as the hero and Rourke as the “damsel in distress” as it were.
Hot Blooded can be read as a stand alone if you wish (I would recommend reading Full Blooded first, but you won't be lost if you don't). I’m finding this series to be super addictive (I've already started reading the next one) and I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Cold Blooded by Amanda Carlson
5.0
Cold Blooded is the third book in the Jessica McClain series and it’s the best one yet! This book continues in the same vein as the first two – action packed and full of twists and turns and plot lines braided together in an ongoing, richly detailed tapestry.
Jessica McClain, only female werewolf in existence and reincarnation of something important as foretold by ancient prophecy, is targeted by supernatural sects who all want a piece of her power – and they’re willing to go through her friends and family to get it. In this installment of the series, we spend a lot of time with the Vampire Sect and their queen Eudoxia, whom seek to entrap Jessica through trickery while she’s trying to save her father. Witches, Sorcerers, Werewolves, and Underworld baddies all make important appearances. Alliances are struck across Sect lines and the supernatural world as they know it is thrown into turmoil and war.
My favorite part of this book was finally getting some interaction (and action) between Jessica and Rourke and seeing how well they play off each other. I wouldn't mind seeing more of them together in future books, but I doubt I will since romance plays second fiddle (or even last fiddle) to action in the series - completely understandable since these are urban fantasy books and not paranormal romance - still, a girl can dream.
As old plots thicken, new plot lines are added, and the stakes get higher and higher, this series just continues to get better and better. Can’t wait for the next one.
