My Rating:  A MUST READ!!!



My Review: I was lucky enough to be in the Kiss Me Crazy blog tour and get a copy to review. Ednah Walters has to be one of my favorite Indi authors, her story telling really sweeps you off your feet and takes you on a thrilling ride.

Kiss Me Crazy just blew me away, I just couldn't put this book down. I must admit I've been in a reading slump for a few weeks now and couldn't get myself out of it, but when KMC arrived in the mail I was so excited to dive right in. Thanks to Ednah's amazing, sexy, passionate filled story, I can proudly say that I've been brought out of my slump.

If your looking for a heart pounding, toe curling romance story than this Fitzgerald book is for you (book 3 in the series). In order they are Slow Burn, Mine Until Dawn & Kiss Me Crazy these 3 books are an amazing series. Ednah is working on book 4 at the moment, I can't wait for that one.

And if you love reading great books like this, literature classes from colleges online may be fun for you.

Review- Dark Matter Heart by Nathan Wrann

Title- Dark Matter Heart
Author- Nathan Wrann
Released- 13th of May 2011
Publisher- Createspace
Genre- YA Paranormal

Blurb- A new town. A new school. A new beginning. Seventeen year-old Cordell Griffin and his mother move from Los Angeles to the Pacific Northwest to deal with his "allergies," and start a healthier new life. Cor has one goal: To blend in and be invisible. Unfortunately for him, no matter how far he goes, he can't run away from his secrets. Secrets about who he is. Secrets about why he's sick. And secrets about why so many people he meets end up dead, drained of blood. In "Dark Matter Heart", the origin novel in the "Cor Griffin Bloodsuckers" Young Adult Paranormal Thriller series from filmmaker Nathan Wrann, Cor must uncover the mysteries of his past and conquer the secrets of the present in order to protect the girl of his future, and save himself.


Review- What an awesome, action packed story! Once I started I could not put it down. Nathan Wrann had me engrossed from the very first page with the strangeness of Cor. Cor isn't your typical main character from a book, of course he's got the mysterious thing happening but he's weird, strange, awkward even. The type of person that people either don't notice or deliberately avoid. I love that about this book. Sometimes great writing like this requires training from places like accredited online colleges. Another thing I loved was that I was constantly guessing, whether it was what Cor's mystery illness is or who is what Cor calls "The Creeper". Dark Matter Heart is a fast paced story with twists and turns that will shock you every time. That's all I am going to leave you with because I strongly recommend everyone to give this book a read. I guarantee you will love it as much as I do.

Review- Spellbound by Samantha Combs

Title- Spellbound

Author- Samantha Combs

Released- 13th June 2011

Publisher- Astraea Press

Genre- YA, Paranormal/Fantasy

Blurb- Logan Daniels has always led a sheltered life in sleepy, predictable Lancaster, New Hampshire. But when beautiful Serena suddenly appears at school one day, his comfortable existence becomes anything but as he finds himself falling in love with her. There's something special about Serena Starr. He realizes what it is when he sees her unleash her spells. Soon, a mysterious and foreboding presence settles over his placid home.

Logan and Serena find themselves battling darkness and evil with an ominous mission: it wants Serena and will stop at nothing to have her. Tearing apart Logan's town, threatening his friends, even causing harm to his family, the demon will spread its doom over every facet of Logan's once placid life. Logan matures in ways he could never have imagined as he struggles to protect those he loves, including Serena. But he can't do it alone.

Serena hails from a long line of able and powerful women who will aide in the battle and perhaps settle a score of their own. The strength of the coven and Serena's love will be behind him, but ultimately this is Logan's fight to win. But, will he?

Review- What a fast paced, energetic, fun read. Combs captured my attention from the first paragraph. Her intense attention to detail is extraordinary. What I loved most about the book was how Combs did the chapters from different characters perspectives, I got to see all points of view of the story which I really enjoyed. Combs had a lot happening in such a short period of time but she managed to keep the story flowing without making it seem rushed. The relationships that formed in Spellbound were in themselves fast paced. I think Combs was spot on with how intense and full on teenage relationships can be, especially in the relationships between Logan and Serena and Dave and Tamera. The paranormal side of Spellbound was really fascinating. Witches, Shapeshifting Demons and Trolls made for one exciting battle between good and evil.

There isn't really much more to say about Spellbound without giving too much away. So I will leave you with a strong recommendation to give Spellbound a read. It will be well worth it.

Also, a resource for finding classes where you can read more great books like this is accreditedonlineschools.org.

Book Review- The Aetherwood Chronicles- Volume 1, Episodes 1-5

Title- The Aetherwood Chronicles- Volume 1- Episodes 1-5
Author- Vaughn Shepherd and Bunni Darling
Publisher- Lion and Mermaid Publications
Release Date- 4th July 2011
For 18+ to read only!

Description- An anthology of the first five episodes in the Aetherwood Chronicles, a lush, intriguing world filled with sensuality and the supernatural. This anthology combines Episodes 1 through 5, including: Davian and Starr - Episode One: "A Charm", Pheo and Silky - Episode One: "Aos Si", Blair and Dresdin: "New Friend, Old Friend", Davian and Starr - Episode Two: "Twisted", and Pheo and Silky - Episode Two: "Raising the Stakes". This anthology includes scenes of graphic sex, and the episode Blair and Dresdin: "New Friend, Old Friend" includes descriptions of violence and torture.

Review- To be honest, I'm not too sure what to say about this one... One thing is I know for certain is that the authors of this one have one seriously twisted side. The Davian and Starr episodes didn't really draw me in at all. Quite frankly it was boring. It was your typical guy pursues girl, guy turns out to be a vampire but girl is already claimed by another vampire but he keeps pursuing her anyway. Throw in a ghost and a sex scene and there's your story. Blair and Dresdin's episodes is where Shepherd and Darling show their twistedness. The first episode is like some Saw movie s**t. Totally grossed me out! The intimate details of snapping bones and calving into the calf muscle to feast on the tender muscle their had my stomach churning. At least with the Saw movies you can look away! There is no looking away while reading and you cant skip it because you lose vital parts of the story! So I had to swallow and teaspoon of cement and harden the eff up while reading it. And in case you didn't clue on, it's a vampire story... Probably the best out of the three. Now for Pheo and Silky. Apart from there meeting each other at the start the rest is pretty much a porn fest. Don't get me wrong I LOVE reading lemons but when the only thing that seems to be happening is lemons it gets kind of boring. They seem to lose the point of the story because they get too involved in the sex scenes. I like to see an actual story!

I will say some positive things about Shepherd and Darling though. They have an amazing ability to describe everything in their story with such detail and precision, hence the squirming in Blair and Dresdin's story. They did a great job of making it easy for me to paint a picture in my head of how all of the surroundings were, even the food the characters ate were described with accuracy. All in all if you love watching porn and the Saw movies but have small children around all the time or prefer books then this is for you!
