Date Published: June 7, 2016

Most teens dream of visiting the City of Lights, but it feels more like a nightmare for Sophie Brooks. She and her brother are sent to Paris to spend the summer with their father, who left home a year ago without any explanation. As if his sudden abandonment weren't betrayal enough, he's about to remarry, and they’re expected to play nice with his soon-to-be wife and stepdaughter. The stepdaughter, Camille, agrees to show them around the city, but she makes it clear that she will do everything in her power to make Sophie miserable.

Sophie could deal with all the pain and humiliation if only she could practice piano. Her dream is to become a pianist, and she was supposed to spend the summer preparing for a scholarship competition. Even though her father moved to Paris to pursue his own dream, he clearly doesn't support hers. His promise to provide her with a piano goes unfulfilled.

Still, no one is immune to Paris’s charm.

Series a Month Challenge: Relentless series by Karen Lynch

So, I had signed up for the Series a Month challenge awhile back. It is being hosted by Danielle over at Love at First Page. I've been slacking a bit, but I'm trying to get back to reading book series back-to-back.

This month I read the Relentless series by Karen Lynch, and I am so glad that I did! It was so good.

My disease is as rare as it is famous. Basically, I’m allergic to the world. I don’t leave my house, have not left my house in seventeen years. The only people I ever see are my mom and my nurse, Carla.

But then one day, a moving truck arrives next door. I look out my window, and I see him. He’s tall, lean and wearing all black—black T-shirt, black jeans, black sneakers, and a black knit cap that covers his hair completely. He catches me looking and stares at me. I stare right back. His name is Olly.

Maybe we can’t predict the future, but we can predict some things. For example, I am certainly going to fall in love with Olly. It’s almost certainly going to be a disaster. 

Wolf of Stone by Quinn Loftis {Excerpt, Review, and Giveaway}

Wolf of Stone (The Gypsy Healer Series, Book 2)

 

by Quinn Loftis

---

Synopsis

Dalton Black, a Canis lupis full of guilt and anger, never expected to find his true mate. Perhaps already slipping into madness, he had resigned himself to the fact that he would walk the earth without the other half of his soul. He was convinced that his sins were enough to keep the Great Luna from giving him such a blessing. He knew it was probably better that way. His past was as dark as his name and after three centuries of running from it, the memories were finally catching up to him. But all of those resignations evaporated when he saw her broken and bloodied body lying on that alter. Though the man didn’t recognize her, the wolf did. Through battle and bloodshed he was able to save her from the evil that held her captive, but now he would need her to save him from himself.
Jewel Stone was wholly unaware of the ancient bloodlines of Gypsy Healers, mates to Canis lupis and protectors of the packs – much less that she carried that blood herself. But when a beautiful but deadly woman showed up in her home and ripped her from her realm, she knew her life would never be the same. Her mother, Gem, a fortune teller, had warned her that something was coming, that her life was about to change dramatically, but like everyone else, Jewel had dismissed her as a crazy person.
Jewel was the laughing stock of her school simply because Gem was her mother. And up until now, her life was one big disappointment after another. Instead of heeding her mother’s warning, she hid in her books, burying herself behind knowledge, both fact and fiction. She escaped into worlds created by others and filled her mind with facts of every kind in an effort to push away the hurtful words that others bombarded her with. Despite all of her knowledge and all of her fantastical stories, she never dreamed her own future would be full of adventure, danger, passion, and the possibility of unconditional love. As she lay unconscious after her first bloody encounter in the fae realm, her only chance of survival lay in the hands of a man scarred by his past, disfigured both emotionally and physically, and beyond the reach of any who had tried to help him.
Can two broken people, who carry the other half of each other’s souls, span the chasm between them and restore the innocence ripped from both their lives? Will they let the promise of healing love overcome the difference in age and experience, and the separation of species and realms? Or will they give in to the fear and doubt that would keep them from one another for eternity?

Excerpt:

 

 Jewel could feel him. She didn’t know how she knew it was him, other than the warmth and

wholeness that flooded her from his nearness.

“It seems like forever since I last saw you,” Dalton’s voice penetrated the deep slumber she had fallen into.

“It can’t have been that long,” she told him and was shocked to see that in her mind’s eye he was

there standing before her. “Is this a dream?”

He chuckled and the sound sent ripples of pleasure down every nerve ending in her body. "That

was a new feeling," she thought. It was something she had read about in her many romance novels,

but not anything she had experienced firsthand―until now.

“You know it is not. We are talking through our bond.”

“But how can I see you. It’s as if you are really here before me, like I could just reach out and touch you.”

“Why don’t you?” His sultry voice dropped an octave and Jewel was pretty sure she had just

swooned for the first time.

“How?”

“Our mental bond can be used for much more than just words,” he told her.

Jewel was pretty sure that if she could blush while in a coma, then she had done just that. The

implication of his words was loud and clear.

He took a step closer to her and another until he was standing less than three feet away. He was

huge, at least a foot taller than her five-foot-four inches. She had to tilt her head back to look up at

his ruggedly handsome face. It was the first time she was seeing him, and she couldn’t understand

how one such as him could have picked her. He had dark brown hair that was messy in all the right

ways. His cool, pale blue eyes seemed to see straight into her soul, and she felt more vulnerable than

if she were naked before him. His strong jaw and high cheekbones were too hard to be considered

beautiful; he was masculine in every sense of the word. He seemed so capable as he stood there

with his shoulders back, his muscles bulging in his dark shirt and jeans. He was everything she never

thought she could have, not her, with the strawberry locks that she kept short, just below her ears

framing her face.

She was just plain Jewel, nothing nearly as glamorous as her name, and yet the male before

her claimed to be hers. She was pretty sure that it must all be something she had concocted in her

comatose state. Her reality would never be one so full of excitement and well, truth be told, utter

sexiness.

“You find me to be sexy?” he asked her as his head tilted ever so slightly to the side. His lips

quirked up in a crooked smile, and she was pretty sure that if she never tasted those lips she would

die of disappointment.

“Interesting,” he murmured.

“I thought you were going to try and give me some privacy,” she scolded.

“Yes, well that was before I realized how fascinating your thoughts would be.”

“Are you shameless?”

He laughed. “When it comes to you, apparently yes I am.”

Well, she thought, what was she supposed to say to that?

“I want to touch you,” he told her and again she was taken aback by his forwardness. The need in

his eyes was completely unmasked, and she wondered at his ability to be so open with her. Wasn’t

he afraid of rejection?

“You need me just as much as I need you; why should I be worried you will reject me?” He held his hand out to her and it took all of her limited self-control not to throw herself in his huge arms.

 My Thoughts:
 

*please note that if you have not read the prior books in the Grey Wolves series, there might be some spoilers up ahead.  The first book, Prince of Wolves, is currently free at most eBook retailers.



I am a big fan of Quinn Loftis' Grey Wolves series. Whenever one of her new books come out, I tend to drop whatever it is that I am currently reading at the moment, and start on her book right away. I have become deeply invested in the world that she's created and her characters have become like a second family to me.
In case you don't know, The Healers series is a spin-off to the Grey Wolves series. It takes place in the same world, however, we get to meet some new faces. We also get more time with Costin and Sally, who are my favorite characters in either series! By the way, I'm claiming Costin as my book boyfriend, just so you all know ;)
When we last left Peri and the gang, one of our new gypsies, Jewel, was not doing so well. Dalton was in a sense of denial and had been dealing with some deep issues. Wolf of Stone takes place soon after, Into the Fae, left off, and it had somewhat of a different vibe than Quinn's other books. Both of the main characters have some difficult issues that they are struggling with, and have experienced so much pain in their lives. Even though this book is not told in first person point of view, I really felt what Dalton was thinking and what he went through. My heart really went out to him because I felt his struggle.
As I mentioned, we get to meet some new characters in Wolf of Stone. I'm looking forward to getting to know them a little more! I love that each of Quinn's characters are so different, and often provide comic relief.
I was kind of bummed when it was over because 1) I was super invested in the story, and 2)  there were three things I was dying to know. I have faith that Ms. Loftis will address these in her next Gypsy Healers book. I know I cannot wait to read it!

Blog Tour for SOULS by Ednah Walters {Review}

SOULS
(Grimnirs, book 2)

   

 

Eighteen-year-old Cora Jemison knows what it’s like to date a soul reaper. There are no Friday night movies, no school dances, and no stolen kisses between classes. It totally sucks! What makes it even worse, souls pop up when she least expects it. The last one is not her fault, but it all adds up to zero quality time with her super hot, scythe-carrying boyfriend, Echo.

Since Cora was etched with special runes by an evil Immortal, she understands why souls are drawn to her. She makes the best of it by helping souls find closure while Echo escorts them to the realm of the dead. Perfect partners, until a dark soul visits Cora in the dead of the night and Echo decides her soul-helping days are over.

Cora can either listen to Echo or follow her instincts. To make matters worse, other reapers start stalking her, demanding she hand over the soul. Even her Valkyrie friends think she’s gone too far. But something sinister is coming their way, and the soul is the key to saving her town, her friends, and her relationship with Echo. Can she convince Echo to see things her way before it’s too late?

WARNING: This is CORA'S story: This book may be considered NA (new adult) because it contains some swearing, violence and sex scenes: Suitable for ages 17 and up. A Clean Version will also be available on Amazon.

My Thoughts:

 I was so excited when I found out I was to to be a part of the Souls blog tour! I'm a big fan of Ednah Walters' Runes and Grimnirs series, and I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen to my beloved characters next!

Ok, so first off- if you haven't read any of the other books in this series, I encourage you start with Runes. You'll get a lot of the background info, and be introduced to most of the characters. With that said, I really enjoyed Souls! I think it just might be my favorite book in either series.

I'll be honest when we were first introduced to Cora back in Runes, I didn't really like her that much. I didn't feel like I could relate to her. But then I read Grimnirs, which is told from Cora's point of view, and I quickly grew to adore that girl! I finally understood her, and figured out why things she said and did just did'nt click with me before. I have to say, I now prefer the stories told from Cora's point of view as opposed to Raine's! (But only by a narrow margin).

I just love the way that Cora connects and interacts with those around her. She's quirky, fun, doesn't take crap from anyone, yet she's kind and compassionate! We got to see more of her character grow and blossom in Souls. She's not one of those characters who is perfect though-  she does make mistakes, but she learns from them. The girl really does have a  good head on her shoulders!

Now. Let me just talk about Echo for a moment (who is also my new book boyfriend...shh). Where do I even start? *sigh*  He's gorgeous with his dark hair and green-gold eyes. He's also fierce, loyal, loving, and mysterious. Echo doesn't see those things within himself though. He has carried around a lot of guilt, burdens, and sadness for a long time. Some of the things he said broke my heart. He has faults, yes, but he knows that, and is trying to be a better person.

I loved that we got to hear more of Echo's story in Souls, as well as meet a few new characters! I hope we see more of them in the future books. Dev cracked me up and brought so much to this story. I was never bored while reading, and I was eager to turn the page to see what would happen next. There were times when I laughed, but there were times when I had  a few tears in my eyes.

My only complaint was that I wish that Souls was just a little bit longer. I would've liked more resolution at the end, and I really wanted to know more about what happened that night. ;)

I am definitely looking forward to the next book Witches! As much as I love Cora's point of view, I need to know how Raine is dealing with everything. I can't wait!

Book Review: Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews

 

Title: Clean Sweep (Inkeeper Chronicles, #1)

Author: Ilona Andrews

Date Published: December 2, 2013

Publisher: Ilona Andrews

I received this arc from the author in exchange for an honest review. 

 

From Goodreads:

 

On the outside, Dina Demille is the epitome of normal. She runs a quaint Victorian Bed and Breakfast in a small Texas town, owns a Shih Tzu named Beast, and is a perfect neighbor, whose biggest problem should be what to serve her guests for breakfast. But Dina is...different: Her broom is a deadly weapon; her Inn is magic and thinks for itself. Meant to be a lodging for otherworldly visitors, the only permanent guest is a retired Galactic aristocrat who can’t leave the grounds because she’s responsible for the deaths of millions and someone might shoot her on sight. Under the circumstances, "normal" is a bit of a stretch for Dina.

And now, something with wicked claws and deepwater teeth has begun to hunt at night....Feeling responsible for her neighbors, Dina decides to get involved. Before long, she has to juggle dealing with the annoyingly attractive, ex-military, new neighbor, Sean Evans—an alpha-strain werewolf—and the equally arresting cosmic vampire soldier, Arland, while trying to keep her inn and its guests safe. But the enemy she’s facing is unlike anything she’s ever encountered before. It’s smart, vicious, and lethal, and putting herself between this creature and her neighbors might just cost her everything.

 

My Thoughts:

 

I am a big fan of this writing couple! (For those of you who don't know, Ilona and her husband, Gordon, write these amazing books together).  I absolutely adore their Kate Daniels and The Edge series.  There's just something distinct and remarkable about their writing style, characters, and settings. So when I learned that there was going to be a new series, I just couldn't wait to get my hands on it. 

 

 

Let me tell you...Clean Sweep did not disappoint! Right away, I was sucked into this unique story about a young woman named Dina who is an innkeeper of a magical house for aliens. The house has human mannerisms as well as a deep connection with Dina. It needs her in order for its magic to thrive. When Dina is inside of the house, she can do the most fascinating and uncanny spells. 

 

Like Andrews' other series, this book is just filled with the wry and sometimes sarcastic humor that I adore.   I still chuckle when I think of some of the banter and scenes featuring Sean, Arland, and Beast.  The characters were quirky, yet fearsome. I quickly developed a book crush on Sean- Dina's new neighbor. He was brave, responsible, and unfortunately, unaware of all of the supernaturals  surrounding him.

 

Dana was a great heroine! She was intelligent, resourceful and fierce. She took her job as innkeeper very seriously, and did not let her head (or heart), get sidetracked when there were people that needed protecting.

 

 

This book was definitely fast paced. I was kind of bummed when I finished reading - not only  because it ended on a little cliffhanger (there's definitely room for more adventures and more problems to solve), but because I got so attached to the characters! There was one character in particular, who shall remain anonymous, that I really wanted to find inner peace and happiness.

 

I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a nice, paranormal/urban fantasy, with some good humor and great characters!

Review: How to Run with a Naked Werewolf by Molly Harper

Title: How to Run with a Naked Werewolf (Naked Werewolf, #3)
Author: Molly Harper
Date Published: December 31, 2013
Publisher: Pocket Books

From Goodreads:

Down, Boy
Anna Moder has just witnessed a shooting, seen her car pulverized, and rescued a wounded stranger only to discover he's really a werewolf. And by her recent standards, things are actually looking up. Lycanthropes don't faze Anna. Doctoring a wolf pack outside Grundy, Alaska, is the closest thing to home life she's known in years. But hitching a ride to Anchorage with long-absent pack member Caleb Graham that's a risk. Part of her itches to whack his nose with a newspaper. The rest is trying unsuccessfully to keep her own paws off every delicious inch of him.
The problem is, Caleb employs his lupine tracking abilities as a notquite-legal bounty hunter, and Anna is suspicious of both him and his profession. On the run from her past, with old problems closing in, she'd like to stay far, far away from anybody with connections to the law. Caleb, however, seems determined to keep her close. Are his intentions noble, or is he working a more predatory angle?
Anna's been dreaming of returning to a semi-normal life, but now she's experiencing a strange new urge . . . to join Caleb in running with the wolves.


My Thoughts:

This turned out to be my favorite book in Molly Harper's, Naked Werewolf series.  I don't know if there will be anymore books in this series, but I really do hope so! I just can't get enough of her fun characters, and their antics and banter.

Like the other two books, there was lots of humor and cute werewolves in How to Run with a Naked Werewolf.  This story also dealt with the serious and sad topic of domestic violence. Anna is on the run from her persistent husband, who has made her life a living nightmare. She has been hiding for years, and has kept her fear of him locked up inside. Anna also doesn't allow herself to get close to people for fear that her whereabouts will be made known. She is on the path to obtaining a new name and  ID, when she meets Caleb.

One thing that  I liked about this book was that there wasn't an insta-romance! There was plenty of  chemistry between the two main characters, Anna (Tina) and Caleb, however, and boy did it sizzle.  Caleb was wonderful! He was canny and fierce, yet he's also kind and nurturing to Anna. Although he is a cousin of Maggie and Cooper, he was seldom mentioned in the other two books. I'm glad we got to learn more about him, and he ended up being my favorite male character. Anna was a force to be reckoned with. She is really intelligent and sharp, and used her abilities to help Caleb with his job.

Another thing that I appreciated in this book was that it that the ending didn't wrap up in a perfect little bow.  As in real life, the characters and to work on a couple of issues, before they could have a HEA. Now that I have read this series, I am going to look into more books by Molly Harper!

Endre by ST Bende

Title: Endre (Elsker Saga, #2)
Author: ST Bende
Published: September 9, 2013
Publisher:  Entranced Publishing

From Goodreads:

Sometimes, finding your destiny means doing the exact opposite of what The Fates have planned.

Winning the heart of an immortal assassin was a dream come true for Kristia Tostenson. Now she’s knee deep in wedding plans, goddess lessons, and stolen kisses. But her decision to become immortal could end in heartbreak -- not only for Kristia, but for the god who loves her. Because while Ull would do anything to protect his bride, even the God of Winter is powerless against the Norse apocalypse. Ragnarok is coming. And the gods aren’t even close to ready.


My Thoughts:


I couldn't wait to get my hands on Endre, which is the second book of the Elsker Saga. When I first saw the cover, I became even more excited because of the gorgeous, snowflake crown, and knowing what it meant and represented. I had read the first book, Elsker, back in August, and absolutely loved it! Since then, I have missed Ull, Kristia, Inga, and Gunnar, but I also worried about what might happen to them with Ragnarok quickly approaching. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait too long to find out!

 Endre takes place soon after the events in Elsker.  Kristia has a lot on her mind, from her college graduation, her upcoming wedding to Ull, mysterious dreams, learning how to use her gift, and the inevitable approach of Ragnarok.  She and Ull also have a few things they must work through in order to have a happy marriage.  By the way, I just love Ull!  He's such a strong, dominant male, yet he has such a tender side for Kristia.  I found myself smiling whenever he spoke to her. 

I was amazed at what Kristia was able to learn to do with her gift in such a short period of time. Perhaps that is an indication of her maybe having a stronger power than some of the other gods?  Whatever the reason, Kristia was a strong heroine  and never seemed to doubt what she could do to try and help her new family as an equal. I really admired her confidence.

As much as I enjoyed the book, I kind of wished that a couple of the scenes were extended a little more. (highlight for spoiler) At the wedding/reception,  I sort of hoped that Kristia would have had  a special scene with her parents, since there was a possibility she might not ever see them again. 
Ok, now  I know I'm probably in the minority on this one, but since  Endre was written from Kristia's point of view,  I would have loved to have  heard some Ragnarok 'battle' stories at the very end, perhaps from one or two  the other Norwegian gods and warriors. Ragnarok was such an epic event, and we were with Kristia the whole time, so I kind of want to know more about what the others experienced.  I do have to say, that the fight scenes we did experience were very impressive! It was awesome to see Gunnar in action too.

Overall, I found Endre to be very enjoyable, and I look forward to reading more books by ST Bende in the near future. I'm not sure if there is going to be a third book in the Elsker Saga, but the ending leaves it open to the possibility.



By the way, the prequel for the Elsker Saga, is available on Smashwords, and it's free! It's called Tur, and it written from Inga's point of view. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!

Rating: 4 Stars

Elsker by ST Bende

Title: Elsker (Elsker Saga, #1)
Author: ST Bende
Published: April 22, 2013
Publisher:  Entranced Publishing



From Goodreads:


You don’t win the heart of an immortal assassin without making a few enemies along the way.

Kristia Tostenson prefers Earl Grey to Grey Goose and book clubs to nightclubs, but when she transfers from her one-stoplight town to Cardiff University in Wales she falls in love with Ull Myhr.  Her new boyfriend isn’t exactly what she was expecting.  He’s an honest to goodness Norse God - an immortal assassin fated to die at Ragnarok, the battle destined to destroy Asgard and Earth.  Kristia’s crazy visions are the only thing that can save their realms.  Her orderly life just got very messy.



My Thoughts:


Not too long ago, my friend, Lolita (Lola‘s Reviews), recommended Elsker to me. I had been looking for a different kind of New Adult book, and this is a modern story that had Norse Mythology tied in to it. I had never read any books about Norse Mythology, so I was very intrigued. The other day, I decided to read it, and I am SO glad that I did! I was hooked from the very first page. Everything seemed to flow and I could not wait to see what was going to happen next.

The story begins with twenty-year-old, Kristia Tostenson, who comes from a small town in Oregon. It’s one of those communities where everyone knows everyone, and one eventually marries someone he or she grew up with. The kids grow up and take over the businesses or occupations held by their parents. Kristia is seen as somewhat of an outcast for her ‘gift‘, something she has little control over. She was raised by her late grandmother who taught her to be polite and respectful, but she also told Kristia tales of Norse myths. One day Kristia, a college senior, decides that she wants to have one more adventure before she settles down into life in her small town, so she decides to finish her education in Cardiff, Wales. Once her plane touches down in Britain, her life will never be the same.

I really liked Kristia’s character. She is a bit OCD, but she is also kind, thoughtful, and loyal. Ull is tall, blond, handsome, and mysterious. It wasn’t long before I was rooting for the two of them. They both have some secrets though, and they will have to learn to trust one another with them. I also grew to love the other minor characters in Elsker- Emma, Victoria, Gunnar, and Inga. They added some humor and other fun elements to the story.

I really enjoyed the Norwegian culture in Elsker, such as the food and the language. I hope we get to experience even more of that in the next book, Endre. I am really looking forward to the continuation of Kristia and Ull’s story, as they are about to encounter even more trials and problems. I don’t want to give away any spoilers, but lets just say I loved this and I’ve been recommending Elsker to my friends!


*There is a recipe at the end of the book for Olaug’s waffles, and I am definitely going to try it out!

Rated: 5 Stars
