Charmfall (Dark Elite Series) Chloe Neill


35 Days left Till Charmfall (Dark Elite Series)
From Goodreads:

High school can be a battlefield, but for Lily Parker, surviving at St. Sophia’s School for Girls is a matter of life and death...

Protecting Chicago from the dark side can be an exhausting job, especially when you’re a junior. So when the girls of St. Sophia’s start gearing up for Sneak, their fall formal, Lily decides to join in on some good, old-fashioned party prep—even if it means not giving demons, vampires and the twisted magic users known as Reapers her undivided attention.

But when a Reaper infiltrates the school, Lily doesn’t forget what she’s sworn to protect. She reaches deep into herself to draw out her magic—and finds that it’s gone. And it turns out she’s not alone. A magical blackout has slammed through paranormal Chicago, and no one knows what—or who—caused it. But Lily knows getting back her magic is worth the risk of going behind enemy lines...

Pre-Order Charmfall Release date is 01/03/2012

I cannot wait to read the next installment I am so Team Lily!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This Ebook was lent to my by the Author Michelle Warren. As a Bookreview Blogger I will be on her Book Tour Conniesbookreview.blogspot.com and was lucky to get a ecopy of this book to read and review.



From Goodreads



Ever since her sixteenth birthday, strange things keep happening to Seraphina Parrish.



The Lady in Black… burns Sera’s memories.



Unexplainable Premonitions… catapult her to other cities.



The Grungy Gang… wants to kill her.



And a beautiful, mysterious boy… stalks her.



But when Sera moves to Chicago, and her aunt reveals their family connection to a centuries old, secret society, she is immediately thrust into an unbelievable fantasy world, leading her on a quest to unravel the mysteries that plague her. In the end, their meanings crash into an epic struggle of loyalty and betrayal, and she’ll be forced to choose between the boy who has stolen her heart and the thing she desires most.



Wander Dust is the breathtaking fantasy that will catapult you through a story of time, adventure, and love.

**Review**



Wander Dust took me a while to get into only because my mind was on a different genre and I had to get into the mind set for this story. Once I sat down and started reading Wander Dust I could not put down and finshed the book in 2 days. I very much enjoyed and my heart went out to Sera to see a teen that is looking to her father Ray for the love she doesn't have and when all the weird things start to happen (not going to give out spoilers). Sera is sent to live with her Aunt Mona and starts to attend the same school her mom Eliza went to. For once Sera starts to finally feel excepted for who she is. When Sera start to search for answer to what is going on and why all the weird things are happening to her Sera answers start to realize that her new life is nothing like Sera dream off.



Sera is a very smart 16yr old and knows when something is not what it always seems to be she discovers she more special then anybody else. As a 16 year old Sera is trying to take in all the changes that have happened to her. With the help and love of her Aunt Mona & her team Sera start to search for answers to her questions to who she is what she is. Sera has to learn to start trusting her team and except her help to what happened to her mother and as her questions start being answered. I have alot of respect for Sera there is not alot of kids her age that have the values Sera has and she is forced to choose to save a member of her team or get the answers to what really happened to her mother. Wander Dust is sweet,sad and funny and exciting story that will keep you on your toes and when you start to think you know what is going something else happens. Michelle Warren has brought a different kind of Paranormal story that I have not seen for a while and it is refreshing to read a story that person whatever the age once they start reading it will not put it down. I am glad this is a trilogy because I will be anticipating the next story of Sera & Bishop. Michelle Warren

***My Review***



DarkSpell...



I really liked the Story I have been so wrapped up in BD1 and reading my Twilights to get read for the night I had not been paying much attention to my other Paranormal stories and Darkspell did that for me. I had orginally read the first couple of chapters from the author's website and she generously allowed me to read the book for review. First all one thing I really loved about this book is the drawings in between chapters that gave the book a different feel that the other paranormal books don't have. Two I did read this book as a E-Book however I will be getting it as a paperbook just because of the drawing and also because I want my niece to read it I know she will love it so much. The Story of Winter and Alex is a wonderful innocent story of new love and step's a Winter is willing to take to keep that love. This wasn't even about a physical attraction more of emotional love that is sweet and pure and what falling in love with some should be about. I see Winnie as a strong girl that has lost her father at a young age and is the big sister in the family and instead of teens that can't stand their lil brothers she does get fustrated with them but loves them whole hartedly. This was one of those stories where you want peace and quiet just so you can read it with the drawing and also the wonderful writing of Elizabeth Mueller I could see in mind what is going on in the story and the end story was very good I was pretty suprised by it myself and was "Ok I didn't see that coming!". I don't want to give away any spoilers just because this is a book that you have read for yourself and enjoy Winter and Alex story. I cannot wait to see more stories from this author.

SpellCaster 2nd book in the Spellbound Series

Cara Lynn Shultz has just announced the cover to the next book in the Spellbound Series Spellcaster...Realse date is set to be March 27,2012. Want more information about her books go to

http://caralynnshultz.wordpress.com/
From Cara website...

Finding your eternal soulmate – easy.

Stopping a true-love-hungry evil – not so much…

After breaking a centuries-old romantic curse, Emma Connor is (almost) glad to get back to normal problems. Although…it’s not easy dealing with the jealous cliques and gossip that rule her exclusive Upper East Side prep, even for a seventeen-year-old newbie witch. Having the most-wanted boy in school as her eternal soul mate sure helps ease the pain-especially since wealthy, rocker-hot Brendan Salinger is very good at staying irresistibly close….

But something dark and hungry is using Emma and Brendan’s deepest fears to reveal damaging secrets and destroy their trust in each other. And Emma’s crash course in über-spells may not be enough to keep them safe…or to stop an inhuman force bent on making their unsuspected power its own.

It is so worth reading I started reading Spellbound Saturday morning and finshed 2am that night.. Her books are a must read

Last Breath Morganville Novel

Last Breath (The Morganville Vampires, #11)Last Breath by Rachel Caine

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


From Goodreads



With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town—a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville’s latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn’t merely human. But is he a vampire—or something else entirely?



This was a Goodreads Win and was so excited when I saw that I won the book this makes me love Goodreads even more. I have always seen The Morganville Series as Gilmore Girls Town Stars Hallow CT meets Morganville TX as Gilmore Girls is funny and the town folk as kind of well not all there. Morganville Residence are Funny & Scary. The minute I got the book in the mail I riped it open and started reading it and finshed it in 2 days.



Rachel Cainehas once again did it again with a story that will make you laugh, giggle and yes this time cry. Normally when reading any Morganville Story I laugh so hard that people think I am crying when in fact it is me laughing so hard. The town of Morganville is up in arms about the marriage of Eve and Michael. There are those that are either for or against the marriage of Human and Vampire. However little does this town know that a marriage is least of their problems. When Amelie recieves a note from the satellite colony Blacke the life of Morganville is about to change and not for the better. Vampires are missing and a storm that has hit the town of Morganville has put the fear in the Town Founder and her secound in command Oliver. As Eve & Michael try to go on with the celebration of a marriage not everyone wants to see. Those who live in the Glass House their lives are about to change and by the looks of things not for the better.



Last Breath is book #11 in the Morganville Novels and Rachel Caine has announced there will be 3 more books add to the Series and if your a Morganville Fan you should be jumping up and down like I am.

Girl of Nightmares


*Waves* Hello Everyone

Girl of Nightmares 2nd book in the Anna Dressed in Blood Series by Kendare Blake Realse Date 8/17/2012

From the Goodreads.com

In this follow-up to Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas begins seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he’s asleep, and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong. These aren’t just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.

Cas doesn’t know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn’t deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it’s time for him to return the favor.

I really Loved the first book Anna Dressed in Blood and I am so excited to announced I have spoken with the Wonderful Kendare Blake and she let me know when this book will be release. It has not posted yet to amazon but it is already on Goodreads which I myself have marked it as to be purchased. If you want to learn more about Kendare go to her website

Hellbent

Hellbent (Cheshire Red Reports, #2)Hellbent by Cherie Priest

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed Hellbent and recommend it. While reading Hellbent I was reminded of the Chicagoland Vampire Books which are one of my favorite Books. What I liked about Raylene is that she is not only a vampire but she hasn't lost her humanity and will fight to protect the one she holds dear and since losing a alot she is very protective of them. Adrian is my favorite character in the book only because he can be any girls best girlfriend or boyfriend which ever way you see him. Since I didn't read the first book it took me while to get into it and when I did I liked it very much. The only thing that is different is that like most vampire books is the need for a vampire to have a ghoul that is something that is new in all the vampire books I have read and is something that makes the book alot more different and maybe better then the rest.Hellbent
