BOOK REVIEW FOR “ONE LUCKY VAMPIRE” BY LYNSAY SANDS

Product Details

No one does wickedly funny and irresistibly steamy like New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands—especially in this red-hot romance between a reluctant vampire and the beauty who needs his help.

Luck be a vampire tonight . . .

When Nicole Phillips agreed to hire a housekeeper, she pictured someone a little frumpy and almost certainly female. Instead, she gets gorgeous, unmistakably male Jake Colson. The man is proving indispensable in the kitchen—and everywhere else. Except Jake might not be a mortal man at all.

. . . and every night

Who wouldn’t want to be a tall, dark, powerful vampire?Jake, for one. He’s barely had time to adjust to his newstate before he’s roped into a family favor. Still, secretly playing bodyguard to sweet, sexy Nicole is turning out to be the wildest ride of his life. First, he’ll put a stop to whoever’s targeting her. Then he’ll prove that this kind of love, and luck, happens only once in an eternity.

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

I always love a good Lynsay Sands book. The story line was great, and the characters were well- developed. I really loved Jake and Nicole. They were very believable characters, and their character’s grew as the story progressed. Jake had to accept that he was not a monster, when he was turned like in all the  horror movies he watched as a kid. Nicole had to learn to trust Jake enough to fall in love with him and let him turn her. The one that is stalking he and trying to kill them, you will never guess. It is a nice little twist to the story. Lynsay Sands signature humor is right there in every page. I give this book 5/5 stars. I cannot wait until the next one.

Product Details

Book Description

Publication Date:July 3, 2012
In the darkness, it’s easy to lose your way. . .Kat Redding is a vampire with a job to do–wiping out the vamps and werewolves who prey on Pureblood humans. Someone has to do it. . .as long as that someone is her. But suddenly Kat, also known as Lady Death, has competition, and it’s causing problems. Vampire houses and werewolf clans alike are blaming her for a spate of gruesome murders, and Kat needs to figure out who’s really responsible before she becomes the next target. . .

On the hunt, she forms an uneasy alliance with both the Luna Cult and a powerful rogue werewolf. But the truths Kat’s uncovering–about her enemies and her few remaining confidantes–are far from comforting. And when the chance comes to leave her life of vengeance behind, Kat must decide whether her real motive lies in protecting the innocent, or sating her own fierce hungers.

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON

This second installment of the series is even better. Kat is being framed for some gruesome killings in the name of Lady Death. Now she has to find out who is behind them, and teams up with her sworn enemy of the Luna Cult. In her investigation she finds evidence that her brother might be alive and behind the killings.

The characters and story line are awesome, fast paced, with lots of action. I really enjoy this series, and highly recommend it to everyone. I give it a 5/ 5 stars.

Here is the next book in the series.Product Details

BOOK REVIEW FOR “HIGHBORN (THE DARK REDEMPTION SERIES)” BY YVONNE NAVARRO

51K5DvaBcZL._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_AA160_[1]

Book Description

Publication Date:October 26, 2010
EVERYONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE. BRYNNA MALAK MIGHT BE THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.
Brynna is a fallen angel trying to earn redemption. She’s escaped from Hell in search of a new life on Earth, but Lucifer’s deadliest hunters are hot on her trail. Police Detective Eran Redmond is after her for a different reason: he needs Brynna to help him find a serial killer who is terrifying Chicago . . . and the trail leads them right to Hellspawned demons of the most dangerous kind. She’s also got a very human problem: dealing with a stubborn, attractive cop who makes her long for everything she knows she can’t have.
Staying alive long enough to earn a shot at Heaven will mean breaking some major rules in the mortal world, as she learns just how complicated and wonderful being human can be. With so much stacked against her, even Brynna has to wonder if she’s crazy. But she’s not giving in without a fight.
Not a chance in Hell. . . .
BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTESY OF AMAZON
This is a richly layered story, different from some that I have read. Brynna is a fallen angel seeking redemption. She escapes Hell to Earth so she can redeem herself to God and return to Heaven. On Earth she meets Eran Redmond, a cop,  who deal with her because she is a witness to a murder on her first day on Earth.
Once the pace picks up it is an excellent read.
The story and the characters just pull you in. There is two books in the series, and I hope there will be more. I loved this story line. I give it a 4/ 5 stars just because it took it a little to pick up the pace of the story.
 Here is the second book in the series.

“A CURSED EMBRACE” BY CECY ROBSON BOOK REVIEW

51K53jN09-L._SL160_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-dp,TopRight,12,-18_SH30_OU01_AA160_[1]Celia Wird and her three sisters are just like other twentysomething girls—with one tiny exception: They are the products of a curse that backfired and gave each of them unique powers that made them, well, a little weird.…

After Celia Wird and her sisters help master vampire Misha save his family, their powers are exposed to the supernatural community of the Lake Tahoe region. But fame comes at a price, and being “weird” isn’t always welcome.

To make matters worse, Celia desires the love of Alpha werewolf Aric, but his pack is bent on destroying their relationship to preserve his pure blood status. And once weres start turning up dead—with evidence pointing to the vampires—she must face the prospect of losing Aric forever. But the chaos only masks a new threat. An evil known as the Tribe has risen—and their sights are set on Celia and her sisters.

BOOK REVIEW COURTESY OF AMAZON

Cecy Robson has a winner with this series. This plot line is amusing , fresh, with kick  butt characters. I love that the Wird sisters have a smart-aleck sharp wit and a close relationship. They will not hesitate to take out someone who has hurt one of their sisters without even batten an eye. I was all for Celia and Aric to get together, but if he is not willing to give up some of the old ways of the pack for the woman he loves( his mate) then he does not deserve Celia. By the end of this book I was thinking of Aric as a total Ass.  I know that he was thinking only about the packs well-being after everything that had happened, but still he should not had to sacrifice Celia and his future together.

I am glad that Celia decided to go with Misha and take him up on his offer. This book will have you laughing, crying, and flat-out yelling at the characters what an ass they are, but in the end you will be wanting more. I give this book a 5/ 5 stars.

In a novel filled with lush imagery and exhilarating action, Faith Hunter creates a near-future world caught in the throes of an ambiguous apocalypse – where a woman with everything to hide finds her true destiny revealed. As humanity struggles with religious strife and seraphs and demons fight a never-ending battle, a new species has arisen. “Neomages” are human in appearance, but able to twist left-over creation energy to their will. A threat to both humans and seraphs, they are confined in luxurious Enclaves.Thorn St. Croix is no ordinary neomage. Nearly driven insane by her powers, she is smuggled out of an Enclave and now lives among humans, channeling her gift of stone-magery into jewelry making. But when Thaddeus Bartholomew, a dangerously attractive policeman, tells her that her ex-husband has been kidnapped, Thorn risks revealing her identity to find him. And for Thorn, the punishment for revelation is death.

BOOK DESCRIPTION COURTOSY OF AMAZON

This was the first series that I read of Faith Hunter and it is great. Her world building, and characters are just awesome. The character of Thorn was very well thought out. I enjoyed the story, because I have not at this time read anything like it. I recommend that you read this series. Due to her special abilities and unknown events,  Thorn had to leave her enclave and live in secret. If anyone found out that she was a rogue mage living amongst humans she would be killed, but when humans and mages are threatened. They have to fight together to rid the land of the threat or be totally erased from earth.

I loved the imagery in the book and the action. I gave it a 5/ 5 stars. here are the other books in the series.
